How My Gift Helps
Gifts to the Emerson Fund help the College meet its most pressing needs, from helping qualified students attend regardless of their financial capacity, to purchasing state-of-the-art equipment. Your gift keeps us on the cutting edge of technological and curricular innovation and helps us maintain a learning environment that is vibrant, diverse, and relevant.
Last year, more than 4,300 generous Emersonians gave to the Emerson Fund, committing more than $1 million to the College.
Every gift—no matter the size—makes a real impact on the College. In fact, a strong annual giving program (which indicates a high level of alumni, parent, and faculty satisfaction) factors into a college's rank in publications such as U.S. News and World Report and helps convince corporations and foundations of Emerson's worthiness when they consider requests for grants. Whether you can afford to donate $20 or $20,000, your gift strengthens Emerson’s finances, programs for students, and its reputation.
