If you are at least 70½ years old, you can use your individual retirement account (IRA) to make a gift to HBS of up to $100,000 per year.
Special one-time opportunity: You can make a gift of up to $50,000 from your IRA to establish a Harvard gift annuity that will pay you annual income for life and benefit HBS in the future. In that same year, you can also transfer up to $50,000 from your IRA to HBS as an outright gift, for a total gift of $100,000, as allowed by IRS rules. Contact Anne McClintock, Senior Director of Development, Planned Giving, to learn more.
Annual opportunity: You can transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to HBS. Your gift can be excluded from your federal taxable income. The transfer can also count towards your required minimum distribution.
To initiate a transfer, please contact your IRA administrator. Also notify HBS Gift Management at gifts@hbs.edu or 617-495-6207 to ensure proper crediting.
For more information about supporting HBS through your IRA, please contact HBS Planned Giving at pg@hbs.edu or 877-448-3864.

Gifts to HBS can be made through the Harvard Global Foundation Limited (HGF). This dual-qualified entity (charity number 1200419) provides UK and dual US-UK donors with a tax-efficient means to support Harvard’s learning, research, and educational activities. UK taxpayers also have the option of giving through the British Friends of Harvard Business School.
Class Crediting
Contributions from HBS alumni via either entity will receive class credit.
Donors can direct their gift to HBS or to any Harvard school or program.
Gifts can be made via bank transfer (includes wires and ACH transactions), check, credit card, or brokerage/security transfer. Alumni and friends who are interested in making a gift should contact HGF’s administrator Sandra Fernandes (sandra@sfernandes.com) for more information.
Processing times for gifts made to HGF may in some cases be lengthier than donations sent directly to HBS/Harvard. Donors may continue to receive solicitations from HBS during this period, for which we apologize in advance.
Upon request to Sandra Fernandes, HGF will provide a US tax receipt to donors who pay taxes in the US and the UK; the gift amount will be based on the USD conversion rate. HGF will not issue a UK tax receipt but will process the Gift Aid claim. Please note that, because HGF is an independent entity, Harvard’s Alumni & Development Services Office cannot provide receipts.
For more information, please visit the Harvard Global Foundation Limited webpage.
British Friends provides scholarships for British students with financial need to attend HBS. Donors can choose to support these scholarships or to direct their gift to the School for the benefit of HBS students, faculty, and programs. In the latter case, a fee may be applied.
