The Wharton School recognizes those who have given three or more consecutive fiscal years to The Wharton Fund as members of The Wharton Fund Loyalty Society.
These consistent donors are our most committed champions — they understand the importance and value of unrestricted giving for the present and future well-being of the School. Collectively, the impact of their giving allows Wharton to be forward-thinking in providing the best business education in the world.
The stock ticker was the earliest means by which stockholders knew the value of their investment. Because members of the Loyalty Society are the most consistent investors in the Wharton School, this logo represents our commitment to these donors to ensure that their investments yield priceless returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does someone become a member? Donors who designate gifts explicitly to The Wharton Fund for three consecutive fiscal years automatically become Loyalty Society members. The University’s fiscal year runs from July 1 – June 30. Donors always retain the right to be anonymous members; this does not affect their status in the Loyalty Society.
What can someone do if they miss a fiscal year? Unfortunately, we do not have any means to make up for gaps in giving. If you feel we have made an error, please reach out to our team at whartonfund@wharton.upenn.edu or 215-746-4204.
What gifts are included in The Wharton Fund Loyalty Society? While the University of Pennsylvania is grateful for all gifts to the School, only gifts specifically designated to The Wharton Fund count toward this society.
Is there a minimum gift amount to qualify? No! We celebrate gifts of all sizes.
How can I contact The Wharton Fund team? All questions and concerns can be sent to The Wharton Fund team at whartonfund@wharton.upenn.edu or 215-746-4204.
