A Message from the Chair and Vice-Chair

Dear Fellow Alumni Fund Volunteers,

We are thrilled to share our fiscal year 2023 final results! Through the incredible teamwork of Yale Alumni Fund volunteers and staff, we received over $45 million from 30,620 donors who made 42,954 gifts this past fiscal year. This surpasses our goal of $45 million!

Please take a moment to watch this short video—it’s a small token of our appreciation and illustrates all that we accomplish when we work together.

These unrestricted gifts provide immediate support for the university’s most pressing needs, from student financial aid to funding that supports student requests for emergency travel and other unexpected expenses.

We have been honored to work with Alumni Fund staff and volunteers and are looking forward to all we will achieve together in the coming years of the For Humanity campaign.

Please do not hesitate to be in touch with us throughout the year, either directly or through Jocelyn Kane, managing director. Thank you for your support as both a Yale donor and a volunteer—and congratulations!

Sincerely,

Brett Zbar ’94
Chair, Yale Alumni Fund Board of Directors

Rich Roberts ’86, ’89 JD
Vice Chair, Yale Alumni Fund Board of Directors
