Annual giving is critical to providing the university with budget-relieving resources. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, more than 30,000 donors made annual gifts via the Yale College Alumni Fund, the alumni and annual funds of the graduate and professional schools, and the Parents Annual Fund. Ranging in size from under $25 to over $100,000, these contributions provided more than $45 million to support the needs of Yale faculty and students.
