Invest in the Future
Whether you live in Cambridge or Calcutta, you can stay engaged with Harvard Kennedy School and connect with your classmates across the globe as a volunteer for the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund.
If you're an alumnus/a, a friend of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, or a current student, consider yourself invited to contribute time and resources to our fundraising efforts, whether it's through the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund Executive Council or Reunion and Class Fundraising. Your commitment can range from hosting events, asking a number of classmates to join you in giving to the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund, writing thank you notes or raising awareness on social media.
We provide training and support to help you get started, and will be in touch every step along the way. To learn more, please contact the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund.
Class Representatives serve as class champions who play an essential part in educating other alumni about the pivotal role that annual gifts have in helping the School make a difference in the world and in the lives of the next generations of students. ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Class Representatives work with the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund and Alumni Relations teams within the Office of Alumni Relations and Resource Development to increase gifts to the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund, which supports the School’s most critical need each year, and to identify opportunities for engagement within their class.
The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund Executive Council fosters alumni engagement and facilitates a culture of giving to the Kennedy School. Members lead efforts to develop a comprehensive volunteer fundraising program while working to increase alumni participation in the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund.
The Graduating Class Gift to the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund provides resources for financial aid, faculty research, and academic programs. Volunteers from each graduating class lead the effort to inform other students about the importance and impact of student and alumni gifts to the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund in the year leading up to their graduation from Harvard Kennedy School. They also work to secure broad participation from the graduating class. Co-chairs and committee members will gain experience running a fundraising campaign.
