With 67 percent of the class making a gift, the class of 1983 raised $7.3 million and had the highest participation of all calsses this year.
The Class of 1989 set a new fundraising record for a 20th Reunion by raising almost $13 million.
The Class of 1951 set a second straight years-out giving record and doubled over with laughter at the amount they raised.
A Message from Jay Light, HBS Dean
I am pleased to introduce the HBS Report on Philanthropy and to acknowledge the important role that giving plays here at Harvard Business School.
Gifts from alumni and friends enable us to deliver the highest level of teaching and research in management education. With your support, we can pursue mission-critical activities—faculty research, financial support for students, and innovations in our curriculum and programs—while also exploring exciting new initiatives in areas such as healthcare, science-based business, and the environment.
Our work would not be possible without you. With your help, we will continue to educate leaders who have the judgment, knowledge, and skills to meet the challenges of our time.
