2013–14 Annual Summary

Thank you!

Thank you to every alum, parent, student, and friend who made a gift to The Stanford Fund in 2013–14. The generosity of more than 33,000 donors added up to over $26 million!

Did you know:

  • It would take nearly half a billion dollars in endowment to generate the same level of funding for undergraduate programs in a single year.
  • While $26 million is a big number, the majority of donors made gifts of $100 or less. The power of collective giving is strong!
  • More than a third of undergraduate alumni made a gift to Stanford in 2013–14.

Each year, the president allocates The Stanford Fund to top priorities in undergraduate education. The Stanford Fund supports need-based scholarships, innovative academic programs, and student life. The following stories offer just a few examples of how your gift to The Stanford Fund is making an impact on students' lives.
