Every gift makes an impact at Kelley. Consistent giving from our 137,000+ alumni, our corporate partners, and our friends builds powerful momentum for all.
The purpose of the Annual Fund is to attract annually renewable private support from alumni and friends and match it with the current needs of the school, as determined by the dean. Annually pledged gifts, whatever the amount, make a distinct and critical difference in the school’s ability to support vital needs.
Only a very small portion of the Kelley School’s annual budget comes from state allocations—the lion’s share is from other sources, including private gifts.

The Shareholders Fund supports key events and initiatives that make the Kelley School special. Your gift to the Shareholders Fund enables us to do what we do best—provide an exceptional all-around educational experience.

“Helping somebody else—there’s a good, warm feeling in that,” says Gregg Summerville, BS’69, MBA’72, about providing opportunities for others at Kelley.
Our principal and major gift directors build and nurture lasting partnerships with Kelley alumni and friends, merging the philanthropic wishes of donors with the funding needs of the school.
Unlike annual gifts, most principal and major gifts create endowments—perhaps to subsidize a scholarship, fellowship, chair, program, Workshop, or center. These endowments exist in perpetuity and preserve the school’s ability to provide an exceptional education to the business leaders of tomorrow.
