Tufts Student Alumni Collective

In the spirit of giving back and supporting one another, when the senior class achieves their donor participation goal, they will secure a $10,000 donation to financial aid in honor of their class. Donors who give $5 or more will also be thanked with a Tufts Alumni hat.

Aside from financial aid, funds raised from the Senior Class Gift also go toward improving the Tufts community by financially supporting other programs that have shaped all of our experiences at Tufts up until now - from club sports, to BEAST, to pre-orientation programs, etc. Without Senior Class Gifts from years past we may not have had these amazing experiences. It's now our time to do the same for the next generation and ensure that theese opportunities can exist in the future.

If you feel strongly that a certain organization has made a formative impact on your Tufts experience, you can choose to contribute directly toward that group and still support the Senior Class Gift Campaign.

All areas relevant to student life at Tufts, including financial aid, athletics, and the arts receive backing from student donors, so let's continue to make the Tufts experience as vibrant as possible!

Crowdfunding at Tufts is a platform to help Tufts community members raise money to bring their ideas to life. Projects on this platform promote innovation and community impact across the university and catalyze transformational projects. 

Does your student organization need funding to support an accessibility fund, attend a conference, participate in nationals, or additional general funding? Tufts Crowdfunding serves as a digital platform to mobilize your networks to support your student organization.  By partnering with Tufts Student Giving for your group's fundraising goals, 100% of donations will go directly to your group, raised funds can be used across multiple school years, we can accept JumboCash donations, and more.

Are you interested in fundraising for a cause or initiative at Tufts, such as finanancial aid or the unxexpected hardship fund?  TSAC in partnership with the Tufts Annual Giving Office will help your project succeed.

Launched in 2012, #GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (US), is a global day dedicated to giving back. Each year, Tufts has gotten more involved - last year $3,559,814 was fundraised for Tufts through 8,531 donations.

#TuftsGivingTuesday is an important Tufts tradition for students, alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff to support what matters most to them—and to you —at Tufts.

Each year, there are dozens of challenges focusing on financial aid, student life, athletics, the unexpected hardship fund, DEIJ initiatives, first-generation student support, and much more. 

On #TuftsGivingTuesday, the Tufts Student Alumni Collective organizes on campus events to engage students and make it easy to participate.  On average, more than 1,000 undergraduate students make a donation on #TuftsGivingTuesday!

The Tufts Student Alumni Collective is dedicated to cultivating a deeper understanding of philanthropy among students. Through interactive programs, peer-led initiatives, and alumni engagement, we illuminate how charitable giving strengthens the Tufts community - past, present, and future. By educating students on the impact of philanthropy, we inspire a culture of intentional generosity and lifelong connection.

The Tufts Student Alumni Collective bridges the gap between students and alumni by highlighting the wealth of resources available through the alumni network. From mentorship and career guidance to shared experiences and support, we educate students on how to tap into these connections and build lasting relationships that extend beyond campus. 

Although you may be a Tufts undergraduate student for ~4 years, upon graduation you are a part of the Tufts alumni community for life.  By partnering with Tufts Office of Alumni Engagement (OAE) and 'Bos of the Last Decade (BOLD), we hope to educate students about what it means to be an alumnus.  

Through beloved traditions like the Welcome Back Seniors T-shirt distribution and the Senior 100 Days to Graduation celebration, the Tufts Student-Alumni Collective sparks excitement and pride within the senior class. These milestone events honor the journey students have taken and warmly welcome them into the alumni community - fostering a sense of belonging, continuity, and lifelong connection to Tufts.

April Giving is a student-led initiative that celebrates the power of collective generosity. Each April, Tufts students come together to give back - supporting student resources, clubs, campus programs, and the future of the Tufts experience. Whether it’s a first-time gift or a continued commitment, April Giving empowers students to make a meaningful impact and champion the spirit of philanthropy within our community.

Each year, student groups sign up to participate in April Giving and receive support from the Tufts Student-Alumni Collective to craft their campaigns. Groups compete to gain the most donors, with top performers earning additional funds provided by the Tufts University Alumni Association - turning student-driven philanthropy into real impact for campus life.
