What We Do
The Fifty Vanderbilt Foundation was established to safeguard this historic clubhouse for future generations. Its mission is to ensure that 50 Vanderbilt remains not just an architectural landmark, but a living home for Yale alumni and members in New York City – a place where history, culture, and fellowship endure.
As members we are beneficiaries of our Club’s history — and it’s up to us to preserve it.
If you value your membership and are able to offer additional support for the clubhouse, a donation to The Fifty Vanderbilt Foundation is a tax-deductible way to help preserve it for the members who’ll call it home next.
James Gamble
Rogers
Before he became the architect who would define Yale’s campus, James Gamble Rogers (1867–1947) was a student of the Class of 1889, a contributor to The Yale Record and a member of Scroll and Key. It was here, at Fifty Vanderbilt, that he began the work that would make him one of America’s most celebrated architects. Rogers went on to pioneer the Collegiate Gothic style now synonymous with Yale, designing many of the university’s most iconic buildings. But our clubhouse came first: built before a single one of his celebrated Yale commissions, it stands as the origin of a legacy that would go on to shape the university itself.
