Welcome to the Harvard College Fund and Thank You for Your Support

The Harvard College Fund’s mission is to raise funds for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which includes Harvard College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. We also appreciate and recognize gifts made by our alumnae to Radcliffe College, now the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

Our success is made possible by the generous annual contributions of more than 30,000 alumni, parents, and friends. This broad base of support includes gifts at all levels that together have a tremendous impact on the University. We also rely on a dedicated volunteer corps of more than 1,500 alumni and parents who give their time and energy sharing their Harvard stories with fellow classmates and friends.

The Harvard College Fund, working in concert with volunteers in the Harvard Alumni Association, provides one of the most meaningful and influential opportunities for individuals to stay connected to the University. Your investment in Harvard’s future will pay dividends for generations to come and we hope you will consider joining us in this important endeavor.

We invite you to learn more about becoming a volunteer and to make your gift today. 

Thank you!

Harvard College Fund Awards

Every year the Harvard College Fund honors volunteer leaders who have distinguished themselves in their fundraising efforts. The Harvard College Fund Executive Committee presents the following awards at Assembly each fall:

Albert H. Gordon ’23 Award

In 1990, the Fund established this annual award in honor of Albert Gordon, founder of the Associates Program, whose decades of leadership have challenged countless contributors to give more to Harvard than they had intended. The generosity and hard work of award recipients have significantly strengthened our annual giving programs.

2018–2019 Awardee
Jeffrey D. Lee '97

Joseph R. Hamlen ’04 Award

Established in 1989 in memory of Joseph Hamlen, Harvard College Fund founder and inaugural chairman, this award is given annually to participation leaders whose personal outreach to classmates results in broad donor support.
