How To Give

Parents play a dynamic role at Brown. For as many reasons as we have students enrolled, they share an excitement and dedication to the University. Each year parents give their time, energy and resources significantly impacting the entire Brown community. Parents volunteer professional experience to our Career Counseling Center and help interview interested applicants through our BASC Program all while supporting the Annual Fund at a higher level than any other school in the Ivy League. The generosity of Brown parents testifies to their belief and trust in Brown's core mission - delivering a world-class education both in and out of the classroom. Such incredible giving allows President Simmons and her senior staff the latitude to move Brown forward and continue the important work outlined in the Plan for Academic Enrichment.

 

Gifts to the Brown Annual Fund have

an immediate impact on the living and learning experience at the University. Your donations sustain an environment in which students are free to choose a unique academic path and are encouraged to collaborate with faculty. The countless opportunities to involve themselves in the life of the University and the surrounding community are a direct result of your giving and decision to make Brown a philanthropic priority.
