As our annual fund, the HBS Fund supports both core priorities and new initiatives, and donors have the option to direct their gift specifically to diversity and equity.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          To learn about other opportunities to support HBS’s efforts in this area, please contact Ellen Harkavy, Managing Director of Development, at eharkavy@hbs.edu or 617.495.6883.
