The strong tradition of annual giving at Yale SOM demonstrates 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.

Loan Forgiveness Program

The Yale School of Management Loan
Forgiveness Program was the first of its kind among business schools and is now widely emulated in business and law schools around the country. It underscores the school’s mission of educating leaders for business and society by providing support to qualified recent graduates who choose to work in the public or nonprofit sectors, or for certain socially responsible, for-profit businesses, through a generous educational loan forgiveness program.
