Where does my donation go?

You choose where your gift makes an impact. Your donation can support any existing fund at Hopkins or the Johns Hopkins Health System, including student clubs and organizations, student services, academic departments, athletics, and other programs and initiatives.

Want to support the club or organization that made your Hopkins experience special? You can direct your gift there.

Not sure where to give? You can also make an unrestricted gift to Undergraduate Student Experience Fund, which supports areas of the undergraduate experience with the greatest need.

What is The Undergraduate Student Experience Fund?

The Undergraduate Student Experience Fund provide flexible support for student life, financial aid, creating new spaces like the student center, experiential learning opportunities, cultural experiences, or making sure health and wellness opportunities are more accessible. Gifts to The Undergraduate Student Experience Fund can be directed to the areas where support is needed most.

How quickly can my donation be used?

Most donations are received and ready to use within 10 business days. Funds that aren't used right away can roll over from year to year, allowing support to grow and make an even greater impact over time.

When do I get my graduation honor cord?

Your honor cord will be available for pickup closer to graduation at Grad Fair. A gift of $5 or more earns you an honor cord to wear at Commencement.

Why does Hopkins need my donation?

Because the Hopkins experience is about more than the classroom.

Tuition supports many of the academic and operational costs of the university, but the clubs, organizations, student programs, traditions, and experiences that make campus feel like Hopkins also rely on philanthropic support.

When you give, you have the opportunity to give back to the communities and experiences that mattered most to you—and help make sure future Blue Jays have those same opportunities.

What is the SPA Matching Gift Fund?

The Student Philanthropy Association (SPA) Matching Gift Fund helps make your gift go even further by matching donations from senior class members.

The fund is supported by gifts from recent alumni and former Student Philanthropy Ambassadors who want to help today’s seniors maximize their impact.

That means your gift can have twice the impact on the Hopkins community you choose to support.
