Since 1927, gifts to The Penn Fund—from undergraduate alumni and parents like you—have made a profound and immediate impact on all aspects of student life and learning at the University by providing grant-based financial aid packages to undergraduates, supporting enhancements to academic programs and campus technology, and fostering community through student clubs and organizations. This longstanding tradition of loyal generosity allows donors to support the University’s greatest needs and highest priorities through the general fund, long-term scholarship support, and special reunion class projects.

This year’s Penn It Forward events were a huge success. Through writing thank you notes on Locust Walk, volunteering in partnership with the Netter Center, joining us for our campus adventure, or other means of engagement, we hope current students learned more about the great impact of philanthropy at the University—and had fun at the same time!

The generosity of every Quaker community member adds up to significant support across all elements of undergraduate life and learning. Thank you very much for participating in Penn It Forward and helping to ensure an inspiring week of philanthropy and community involvement.
