The strong tradition of annual giving at Yale SOM represents the deep commitment of our alumni to the school and its mission. The Yale SOM Alumni Fund has the highest participation rate of any school at Yale, including Yale College, and has the second highest participation rate among peer business schools. The unrestricted support received through the Alumni Fund is critical for funding both ongoing programs and new strategic initiatives. It would take a $32 million endowment gift to create as much annual revenue for the school as one year of Alumni Fund giving.
