Our Crowdfunding Groups
Although this campaign has concluded, if you would still like to make a donation to support the Ray Jones Endowed Fund, you may always do so here.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, shared the link, and spread the word about the Ray Jones Endowed Fund. This tremendous achievement and celebration of Ray would not have been possible without your support. We are incredibly grateful to have raised over $12,000 to help offset the costs of unpaid internships.
We could not have accomplished this without you. Thank you on behalf of Pitt Business!

Alumni & Friends:
Thank you for your generous support of the Ray Jones Endowed Fund. In just two weeks, we’ve reached 50% of our goal! It’s clear that Ray Jones has impacted the lives of so many Pitt Business alumni and it’s thanks to donors like you that our campaign is off to a great start.
In the coming weeks, we will maintain momentum by reaching out to more alumni and friends. We ask that you help us reach out goal by sharing this campaign with your Pitt Business networks. Let’s make it happen!

Ray has been teaching future business leaders at Pitt Business since 1996. Your gift will support our mission of taking students From the Classroom, To the City, To the World.
One of Ray’s signature classes at Pitt Business—Managerial Ethics and Stakeholder Management. A gift at this level will unlock all 34 CliftonStrengths Themes for a student.
Over 130 individuals and organizations have participated in the Emerging Ethical Leaders Program. Your gift will help provide valuable professional development experiences for Pitt Business interns.
Our signature 240 hour internships partner with Birgo Realty, Thread International, the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology (RST), Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence, and University Stores. Your gift will help support these organizations (and more!) obtain ethical interns.
Since its beginning nearly 20 years ago, over 400 Pitt Business students have completed the Certificate Program in Leadership and Ethics (CPLE). A gift at this level will support CPLE students wishing to pursue an internship at a non-profit.
Over 58 percent of Pitt Business students participate in an international program. A gift at this level will fund a short-term, 50 hour internship, providing a student with the opportunity to pursue an internship that may have otherwise interfered with their study abroad experience.
Traditionally, students are required to take a for-credit summer internship. A gift at this level will further support Ray’s passion project by funding a student’s 12 week, summer internship with a signature, ethical partner.
