Yale College Parents

Parents of Yale College students, past and present, know what a Yale education can mean in a young person's life. They also appreciate the direct impact that gifts exert on the quality of student life and learning. Parents encourage Yale's continued excellence in a variety of ways.

Annual gifts from parents provide immediately available current use funds that the University uses for enhancing the residential college experience and for maintaining the total Yale experience. For more information, see Annual Gifts.

Capital gifts allow donors to direct sizable contributions given over a three-to-five-year period toward specific University needs that match donor interests. For examples, see Capital Gifts.

Planned gifts provide an opportunity for donors to structure long-term deferred gifts in ways that are beneficial both to the donor and to Yale. For more information, see Planned Gifts.
