Give at the Leadership Level

The Littauer Society recognizes generous individuals who give $1,000 or more to the HKS Fund in a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). These donors, who give at the leadership level, provide cornerstone funding the School relies on to propel teaching, learning, and research initiatives.

Every year, the Littauer Society’s generous supporters fuel essential programs, including financial aid, while providing seed funding for groundbreaking endeavors in everything from social innovation to digital technology and governance.
