  • Providing travel grants to campus for prospective and admitted students and their families, and increasing funds available to match financial aid awards from peer institutions.
• Supporting academic and administrative departments, centers, and institutes that provide resources and mentorship for students from diverse communities.
• Investing in campus spaces that nurture a community for students to discuss subjects related to a sense of belonging, through programming and community events.

Impact funds, like the Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion Fund, are part of the Brown Annual Fund family. Donor support of these giving options amplifies key University priorities. Your gift made to an impact fund will be used where it's most needed within the fund's focus area, empowering the University to be strategic and effective with every dollar.

As part of the family of funds for annual giving with the Brown Annual Fund, gifts made to the Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion Fund and any other impact fund are included in Annual Fund totals and the Reunion Class Gift to the Annual Fund.
