Any outright gift, multi-year pledge, or any matching funds received between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023 (Chicago Booth's Fiscal Year) will count toward your reunion class gift. For multi-year pledges, donors, as well as their affiliated class, will be recognized for the entire commitment.

Yes. The Annual Fund sustains Chicago Booth’s fundamental strengths—our world-class faculty, top-performing students, and global reputation for creating knowledge with enduring value and educating future leaders. Alumni who give to the Annual Fund each year are considered Chicago Booth’s “living endowment.” Each year, more than 8,000 alumni make gifts that the dean uses to fund student scholarships, hire the best faculty, and provide seed funding for initiatives that will transform business. A gift to the Annual Fund is important for three reasons:
- It helps make Chicago Booth a top business school;
- It provides the dean the ability to make immediate impact;
- It renews the connection alumni have to the school as part of a special community of supporters.
