Continue Your Support of Wharton
0–3 years after Graduation

Follow in the footsteps of alumni who helped shape your Wharton experience by giving to your MBA Class Gift. You can also join the Young Franklin Society with a gift of $1,000 or more, which comes with many perks including recognition in the Donor Honor Roll. Your continued support of The Wharton Fund could place you among Wharton’s most loyal donors. Members of the Loyalty Society — those who give for three or more consecutive fiscal years — are the School’s most dedicated philanthropic champions.

During year four after Graduation, you’re still eligible to join the Young Franklin Society with a gift of $1,000 or more. After that, a gift of $2,500 or more qualifies you to join the Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS), which is the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership circle of annual donors. This level of commitment to the School unlocks several benefits, including invitations to special BFS receptions and recognition at alumni events.

Whatever your path, your generosity is making a lasting impact. By consistently supporting the School, you’ve not only shaped its future — you’ve secured your place in its story.
