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 custodians of its legacy.
If you value your membership and are in a position to offer additional support for the clubhouse, a donation to The Fifty Vanderbilt Foundation offers a tax-deductible way to directly benefit these preservation efforts and furthering the cherished community that makes its home there.
James Gamble
Rogers
James Gamble Rogers (1867-1947), the architect of our Fifty Vanderbilt clubhouse, was a member of the Yale class of 1889. He was a contributor to The Yale Record and a member of the Scroll and Key.
A proponent of what came to be known as Collegiate Gothic architecture, Rogers is responsible for many of the most important and memorable buildings at Yale. He designed our clubhouse before he designed any of the buildings on the Yale campus.
