“I have always liked the many ways Brown allows us to give. Like the Open Curriculum back in the day, you’ll find giving to Brown is a chance for you to explore. Look through the many ways to give and choose what works for you. You might make a one-time gift, set up a recurring contribution, or even consider a planned gift. Maybe you support athletics one year and help Brown become more environmentally sustainable the next. Whatever your interest or ability to give, your gift matters immensely and there’s no time like the present to show your support.”
