The Harvard College Fund

A century of giving forward

Give Now

One hundred years ago, 33 Harvard College alumni launched a new effort to support students then, and for the future. Their collective generosity laid the foundation for the Harvard College Fund.

Hundreds of thousands of alumni, parents, and friends have rallied behind the Harvard College Fund mission since then. This community helps the Harvard College Fund go to work right away: addressing urgent issues, building momentum for new ideas, and supporting everyone at the College—undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty—through every step of their Harvard journey.

As the Harvard College Fund celebrates a century of giving forward, we look toward the unlimited possibility of the next 100. Whether you’ve been part of this caring community for decades or are ready to show your support now, we invite you to be a part of it.

Join us for the next 100 and see what we can build together.

Morgen Peck '03

“When you make a gift to Harvard, you’re really giving to ensure that students of today have everything they need to thrive—and that’s how they are going to be able to graduate and go out into the world and make an impact.”

—Morgen Peck ’03, 20-year 1636 Loyalty Society member

Ed Poliakoff ’67

“Harvard is an important part of my and my son’s lives, and I’ll always seek to do my part to support it.”

—Ed Poliakoff ’67, P’00, 45-year 1636 Loyalty Society member

HCF 100th Anniversary

"I enclose my mite to go to the great purposes of the Fund. It seems pitifully small when I think of the intangible yet real blessings I have had and am still receiving because I was privileged enough to go to Harvard College.”

—Excerpt from a contributor letter in 1941

Dara Wolkoff

“For 100 years, the HCF has moved the College forward. By coming together with alumni, parents, and friends across generations, we’re building support that helps students thrive.”

—Dara Wolkoff, Executive Director of the Harvard College Fund

Since 1926, the Harvard College Fund has supported everything that makes Harvard Harvard, including:

 

Decades of financial aid expansion, which today means that every student can graduate debt-free.

Cutting-edge scientific research—from debuting the country’s first programmable computer to kick-starting AI initiatives and finding new ways to treat and prevent disease.

Encouraging students to make a difference in the world and their neighborhoods through public service programs like SPARK.

Unparalleled hands-on learning opportunities in places like the Reimagining Experiential Education & Fabrication Makerspace, Active Learning Labs, and the Harvard Forest.

Gen Ed courses that adapt to a changing world, allowing students to follow their interests while tackling enduring questions.
