Harvard Alumni Clubs receive no funding from the University and consequently, donations from generous alumni greatly help the club continue its operations and contribute to the community. You can designate your donations as "unrestricted" or as restricted for use only in our community service and education related activities. Either way, you can be sure that the funds will have a meaningful impact.

Past donations have been used to fund the Early College Awareness Program, the book prize, summer internships for college and graduate students, develop software programs to support the Schools Committee interviewing process and to refurbish the Johnston Gate at Harvard. We hope that you will consider a gift to the Harvard Club of Chicago. Doing so will help keep Harvard's organized alumni presence strong in this great city for years to come.

Donations can be made in any amount through the buttons below, by emailing the President of the Club, or by calling (847) 256-1211.


*The Harvard Club of Chicago is a 501(c)3 organization. Therefore, donations may be tax deductible.
