Meet the Planned Giving Staff

Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Alumni and Friends,

Thank you for visiting our Planned Giving webpage.

We are deeply moved by the continued commitment of alumni and friends to Harvard's work in virtually every field to educate and inspire the next generation of world leaders, create new knowledge, and find solutions to address the world's most complex problems.

We strive to help our donors make gifts to this amazing university in the most satisfying and prudent ways. For some, this may be a gift that can be used right away at the president's discretion to apply to promising new endeavors. For others, this may mean establishing a gift that produces lifetime income for themselves or others, and then benefits a specific area at Harvard in the future.

We hope the following pages will inspire you to explore options of how you can make an impact at Harvard, and far beyond, in the most sensible and advantageous way for you and your family. Our planned giving professionals are available to work with you to draft a gift plan for your unique situation.

Thank you for your interest in Harvard University.

Sincerely,

Anne D. McClintock
