Your gift can transform the Emerson experience. The Impact Funds empower you to directly support the specific department, program, or initiative that means the most to you.
Each Emerson experience is unique. From long hours on film sets and in rehearsal studios to life-changing semesters in Europe and traveling for away games, every student’s journey is different.
Whether you value the creative energy of student organizations, the global perspective gained from studying abroad, or the competitive spirit of our varsity sports, you have the power to champion those experiences for today's students. A contribution to a specific impact fund allows you to directly support the area of Emerson you care about most.
Your generosity paves the way for the next generation of Emersonians to build their own unique paths and create lifelong memories.
Our team can help you find the perfect fund to match your passion.

Impact Funds to Support
Lions Fund
The Lions Fund is an immediate-use fund that supports all 14 varsity sports at Emerson by being allocated to the Department's greatest needs including: transportation to away games, new gear and uniforms, improvements to facilities and training equipment, updated tech and media equipment, and so much more. This is a current-use fund, meaning your gift will have an immediate impact.
Global Engagement and Programs Fund
The Global Engagement and Programs Fund supports students studying abroad, as well as international programs like Kasteel Well and our partnership with Paris College of Art.
Student Assistance Fund
The Student Assistance Fund is a need-based fund, that makes small awards, to help eligible students with indirect costs of attendance such as books, printing and copying costs, film, developing, other required course supplies, personal items, transportation, and food.
Pride Fund
The Emerson Pride Fund was established to aid and empower the people, programs, and organizations that serve our LGBTQIA+ community– fostering a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for all members of the LGBTQIA+ community at Emerson College. Annually, the Emerson Pride Fund plays an integral role in bringing the queer community on campus together.
