How You can Help

The easiest way for donors to ensure that HBS faculty and students develop a truly global business perspective 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 global understanding.

Some donors prefer to set up their own fund, which can be targeted to a specific program, activity, or region. These funds require a minimum gift: $250,000 for current-use and $500,000 for endowment, with reduced minimums for alumni who graduated in the last 15 years. Commitments of $1 million or more qualify for Global Leaders Circle membership. To learn more about these giving opportunities, please call 617.495.6881 (toll-free: 877.448.3864) or email us.

You can also support internationalization 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.

The HBS Fund Investors Society recognizes leadership annual donors.
