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
Over his 39 years at Tufts, Mathematics Professor Loring Tu has transformed students’ lives through his devotion to classroom teaching. In recent years, he has also provided support for scholarships and student housing.
The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University has received the second-largest gift in its history, with anonymous donors pledging $10 million for student financial aid.
Catchy pharmaceutical ad jingles notwithstanding, diabetes remains a health “scourge,” according to Helen Boucher, dean of Tufts University School of Medicine and chief academic officer for Tufts 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!
