The Wharton Fund
The Wharton Fund is the Wharton School’s unrestricted annual giving fund that supports existing programs and initiatives while also serving as the seed money for innovative new ventures — fueling Wharton’s excellence and preserving the enduring power of our degree.
Why Donate to The Wharton Fund?
- Celebrate and commemorate our years at Wharton.
- Establish our Class of 2026 legacy.
- Support the School that has helped us grow personally and professionally.
- Champion the transformative programs from our Wharton journey.
- Your gift matters. All money raised is used instantly — a $5,000 donation to The Wharton Fund has the same immediate impact as a $100,000 endowed gift.
- Your gift stays at Wharton. Donations to The Wharton Fund are used to power the School’s academic and experiential initiatives. Wharton Fund dollars do not support Lauder ventures or larger University of Pennsylvania programs, and are not distributed to graduate student clubs.
- Our collective power of giving will fund the unparalleled Wharton experience of future students.
From experiential learning in the form of Global Modular Courses and Immersion Programs to student life programming like Semester in San Francisco, everything Wharton does, The Wharton Fund supports.

Frequently Asked Questions
▼ How does the work of the Alumni Fellows help current students?
Funds raised by the Alumni Fellows for the MBA Class Gift support The Wharton Fund. The Wharton Fund provides a valuable, consistent stream of resources that alleviate operating costs and the transferring of those costs to current students. The Wharton Fund helps the School respond to immediate needs, unexpected opportunities, and plan for the future.
▼ When can I apply to be an Alumni Fellow?
Full Time MBAs are eligible to apply to be an Alumni Fellow in the spring semester of their first year. Applications can be submitted on this site only during recruiting season. The program takes place during the entirety of the second year. Contact Isaiah Bryant, (details below) for additional information.
▼ Can I apply to be an Alumni Fellow in my second year?
No. Applications will not be accepted as Alumni Fellows are already working on their MBA Class Gift campaign by early fall of their second year.
▼ Can I still become an Alumni Fellow if I’m traveling in my second year?
In order to serve as an Alumni Fellow, students must be on campus the spring semester of their second year. Participating in Semester in San Francisco or another off-campus activity is permitted during the fall semester. Alumni Fellows who travel during the fall semester are asked to remain engaged by calling into meetings and participating in ongoing MBA Class Gift efforts.
▼ Are Alumni Fellows paid positions?
Yes. Alumni Fellows are compensated for their participation as they work towards building philanthropic engagement between current MBA students and the School.
▼ Do I need prior fundraising experience?
No. Alumni Fellows attend an orientation and other meetings that explain the importance of philanthropy and provide them with strategies to help build confidence and a solid foundation for fundraising.
▼ What’s the Board Mentor Program?
The Board Mentor Program is a 1:1 mentoring relationship that pairs every Alumni Fellow with a current Wharton Executive Board Member. The mentoring relationship can be personal or professional-focused. The Board Member will share their passion for Wharton and giving back to the School with their assigned Fellow. This is an excellent and exclusive networking opportunity.
