President's Fund Giving

Thank you to every member of the President's Fund for making 2014–15 a tremendous success! Together you contributed more than $13 million to support students through The Stanford Fund for Undergraduate Education.

  • This year more than 1,500 donors—including 84 young alumni—gave to The Stanford Fund at the President’s Fund level.
  • President's Fund donors giving $25,000 or more provided 310 Stanford Fund Scholarships.
  • President's Fund gifts accounted for nearly half of the more than $26 million in gifts this year for The Stanford Fund.

Many President's Fund donors also give generously to support athletics, capital projects, research initiatives, faculty, endowed scholarships, and other university priorities. We are grateful to these individuals who have made The Stanford Fund part of their broad-based support for the university.

How are Stanford Fund dollars allocated?

Each year, the president allocates The Stanford Fund to top priorities in undergraduate education. The Stanford Fund supports need-based financial aid, 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.
