Giving to Tufts: The Why, Where, and How
Why is giving to Tufts so important? Your gift fuels the engine that creates transformative experiences for students across all Tufts’ campuses—in classrooms, labs, clinics, studios, stages, athletics fields, and shared learning spaces.
Gifts from alumni, parents, and friends empower Tufts students and faculty to be at the forefront of research and innovation, creativity and collaboration, and able to focus on civic engagement with a global impact.
Where you give is up to you—provide immediate and broad impact through annual fund gifts, cement your legacy through your estate, or provide leadership and endowed gifts to support faculty, research, or facilities.
With every gift, you enable Tufts to emphatically say “YES!” to educating creative scholars who generate bold ideas, innovate in the face of complex challenges, and distinguish themselves as active citizens of the world.
By giving, you help provide transformative experiences for students and faculty to learn in an inclusive and collaborative environment. When you invest in education, you fuel the future.
Donor Impact in Action
The Tufts University Prison Initiative of Tisch College (TUPIT) began with a bold vision: that offering higher education within prison walls can be transformative, not only for incarcerated individuals but also for traditional Tufts students—and for society as a whole.
“Nobody knows what engineering is,” Stacey Coleman Morse, E77, said. She understands that firsthand. In high school, when Coleman Morse’s father suggested she study engineering in college, “I didn’t even know what it was,” she recalled.
Olivia and Tom McDonough were worried as they drove from their Cape Cod home to Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.
Celebrate Brighter
Brighter World concluded in June 2023, with more than $1.5 billion raised from 132,000+ generous donors. Through their support, the university has made tremendous strides in the critical areas of financial aid, research and innovation, and living and learning spaces on all of our campuses.
This success would not have been possible without the collective efforts of the university’s largest-ever cohort of volunteers, whose enthusiasm, outreach, and dedication drove the campaign to victory.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Brighter World—you’ve made a world of difference!
