Brandeis Alumni, Family and Friends

Giving DEISday, held every fall, is the perfect opportunity for you to demonstrate what you care most about at Brandeis! Every gift counts towards our single-day donor goal. If we reach it, we unlock additional funds for Brandeis. 

The Class of 2023 is invited to give back to the programs, clubs, teams and departments that you’ve been involved in during your time at Brandeis. Make your gift now and be part of a 30+ year tradition of seniors saying thank you.

Whether it’s $10, a class-year gift ($20.23) or any other amount, your gift – alongside those of your classmates – will make a positive collective difference as an integral part of the Senior Class Gift. Over the years, seniors have given more than $250,000 supporting what matters to them at Brandeis, not only benefiting the students that follow in their footsteps but also helping to secure their class’s legacy at Brandeis!

If you’re a senior interested in being part of the Senior Class Gift Committee, contact Ben Niles at bniles@brandeis.edu.

The Phonathon is an important part of Brandeis’ fundraising efforts. Dozens of student callers reach out to alumni, parents, and friends each year to build relationships and secure financial support for Brandeis. During a typical fiscal year, Phonathon callers raise current use funds from nearly 6,000 donors.

If you’ve recently spoken to a member of our phonathon team and need to fulfill your pledge, visit our giving form.
