Your reunion gift to the Radcliffe Institute will help support the important role of Radcliffe within the University and beyond, as well as the Institute's special commitment to the study of women, gender, and society.  Your gift to Radcliffe will automatically be recognized by the Harvard College Fund unless you request otherwise.

Some alumnae wanting to make a more generous reunion gift have found that they can enhance their financial objectives and make a larger gift than they thought possible by creating a planned gift, such as a gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.

Individual reunion classes may choose to support a particular funding priority at the Institute in a special reunion year. Recently, Radcliffe College Fiftieth reunions have chosen to support the Schlesinger Library. Last year, the Class of 1957’s gift to the library was the largest class gift ever raised to benefit a single fund.

In addition to the Fiftieth reunion, the Institute’s development office will work with any class who wishes to create a special reunion gift. The following is an opportunity available this year for the 50th reunion.

 Class of 1958—Fiftieth Reunion

In honor of your fiftieth reunion this year you may make a gift or multi-year pledge towards the Radcliffe Class of 1958 Schlesinger Library Fund in honor of Drew Gilpin Faust.

This current-use fund has been established through the generosity of the Class of 1958 in honor of the Radcliffe Institute’s founding dean, Drew Gilpin Faust, to support the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. The fund will enable the processing, preserving, digitizing, and acquiring of collections with an emphasis on processing collections of women of the 1950s. Read more on the impact of the Class of 1958 Fund.

The Class of 1958 will be prominently acknowledged and Drew Gilpin Faust honored in cataloguing and labeling and in the finding aids (both on-line and paper versions) for any collections acquired or processed using the Fund.
