REUNION CAMPAIGNS

A Stanford tradition

Reunion giving is a long-standing tradition at Stanford, with every alumnus playing a crucial role in sustaining the university’s legacy of excellence. Participating in a class giving campaign during your reunion year is an opportunity to celebrate important milestones and reflect on what Stanford means to you.

Reunions are also a chance to invest in today’s students, just as previous alumni did for you and your classmates. One of the prime focuses of our reunion campaigns is supporting undergraduate students through The Stanford Fund. The Stanford Fund is instrumental in providing need-based financial aid for almost half of all current undergrads, funding for more than 200 student-run organizations, and resources for first-generation and/or low-income students. Your participation in reunion campaigns and contributions through The Stanford Fund help make this possible.

Reunion giving rally: class showdown

Get ready for the ultimate class competition! The undergraduate 0s and 5s reunion cohorts will battle it out during Day of Giving to show who has the biggest giving spirit! The top three classes with the highest participation percentage will win big by increasing their impact in support of financial aid.

The class with the most donors will unlock four Stanford Fund Scholarships ($100,000 to immediate-use financial aid) in honor of their class year. Second place will proudly unlock two Stanford Fund Scholarships ($50,000 to immediate-use financial aid) for deserving undergraduates, and third place will unlock one Stanford Fund Scholarship ($25,000 to immediate-use financial aid) for a standout student.

As an added bonus, the top class will also receive a fun and fabulous prize to be claimed at the Class Giving booth during registration at Reunion Homecoming.

The competition is fierce—who will emerge as the big winners? Let the challenge begin!
