High-Level Impact
Topics: Philanthropy-Capital CampaignInnovation-Innovation LeadershipEducation-Higher EducationPhilanthropy-Capital CampaignPhilanthropy-HBS CampaignBeginning this fiscal year, alumni and friends who make an annual commitment at levels of $5,000+, $10,000+, $25,000+, and $100,000+ to the HBS Fund for Leadership and Innovation (formerly known as the Dean's Fund) will be recognized as HBS Fund Investors. Members of this leadership group will enjoy special benefits connecting them more closely with the work of the School.
The establishment of this new society reflects the critical role that annual gifts, particularly at higher levels, play in driving innovation and new initiatives, and in advancing the School's highest priorities. Similar to a venture capital fund, the HBS Fund provides seed funding for the School to act quickly but thoughtfully to capitalize on new concepts, such as FIELD, the yearlong experiential course for all first-year MBAs; the Harvard Innovation Lab; and HBX, an online learning platform now in development.
In addition to advancing educational innovation, gifts to the HBS Fund fuel a more flexible economic model for the School and have an immediate impact on enduring priorities such as student financial aid, pathbreaking research, and global understanding. To learn more about supporting the School as an HBS Fund Investor, including the different levels of membership and benefits, please contact Stephanie Noone, director, Annual and Reunion Giving (snoone@hbs.edu, 617-495-6526).
