Making a Difference Through Family Generosity
Transform Students’ Lives through Philanthropy
Families are integral to the advancement of Brandeis and our students. Our Parents Leadership Council (PLC) recognizes parent donors who support the university through an annual leadership gift of $5,000 or more. Last year, Brandeis parents contributed over $1.1 million to support the university and our students; PLC members contributed 70% of that amount.
The PLC supports wide-ranging priorities including scholarships, internships, athletics, student services, world-class faculty and research awards. As a council member, you:
- Experience the real-time impact of your generous gift on our community,
- Inspire other families to support Brandeis through your example,
- And establish your family's philanthropic legacy for your student to follow.
