When you make a leadership gift through The Stanford Fund, you help create exceptional experiences for today’s undergraduates. Through your generosity, you open doors of opportunity to students from all backgrounds. In turn, each student brings to Stanford different passions and perspectives, talents, and life experiences. Such a varied and exciting learning environment benefits all undergraduates and ultimately makes Stanford itself stronger.
Your gift also helps make it possible for the university to meet its historic pledge of access for all qualified students. Leadership gifts play a critical role in filling the gap between the amount of financial aid that’s available from endowed scholarship funds and the total need of today’s students. In some cases, Stanford Fund Scholarships meet a student’s entire need; in others, Stanford Fund dollars are added to endowed scholarship funding to complete a student’s financial aid package.
The impact of your annual leadership gift through The Stanford Fund is immediate and significant: A gift of $10,000 exceeds the annual payout of a $175,000 endowed fund. Such funding is vital for creating a rich and vibrant learning environment that benefits all students.

Your leadership matters
Stanford changed the trajectory of my life, and that’s why I give back. I want others to see that giving makes a real difference. The ability to empower someone who couldn’t otherwise afford a Stanford education is exciting and fulfilling.
