Class Gift
Your gift empowers our students, faculty, staff, and fellow alumni to become the best leaders, researchers, innovators, and change agents they can be. Your Class of 1975 has set a goal of 200 donors by April 4, 2025. Make your gift today!
In honor of your reunion milestone, consider a gift of $1,000 or more through The Hopkins Fund Leadership Giving Circles. Annual gifts, like those contributed to The Hopkins Fund, collectively provide a key part of JHU’s funding each year and allow students to pursue their dreams and make the most of their Homewood experience.
