The college was made possible by a $65 million gift from the Perelman Family Foundation, run by Debra '96 and Ronald Perelman.[4] It is the first residential college at Princeton to be named after Jewish people.[5] A sister college will also be built adjacent to Perelman College, and share the same dining facility.[2]
