For Parents

Parents of Northwestern students contribute more than $2 million in philanthropic gifts annually to Northwestern University. These gifts allow University leadership to broaden opportunities for current students. Make a gift today.

When you make a contribution to Northwestern, you join the members of the Parents' Fund. A key part of the Northwestern Annual Fund, the Parents' Fund provides a reliable source of expendable income that is immediately cycled back to educational priorities, supporting all aspects of their undergraduate education, specifically scholarships, new teaching and learning opportunities, and student life.

Select parents also serve as volunteer ambassadors by joining the Parents' Fund Committee, a group committed to helping raise awareness of Northwestern in their local communities and securing financial support from other Northwestern parents.
