How You can Help
The easiest way for donors to ensure that the School continues to develop and offer transformational learning experiences is by giving to the HBS Fund. As our annual fund, the HBS Fund supports core priorities and new initiatives, and donors have the option to direct their gift specifically to educational innovation.

Some donors prefer to set up their own fund, which can be targeted to a specific academic program or area. These funds require a minimum gift: $250,000 for current-use and $500,000 for endowment. To learn more, please call 617.495.6881 (toll-free: 877.448.3864) or email us.

You can also support educational innovation through your will or a charitable trust. Learn more about how these and other planned gifts enable you to make philanthropy a part of your financial or estate planning.
