Ever True Support Fund

Support healing and recovery efforts in the wake of the senseless violence of December 13.

As a reflection of the outpouring of community support after the tragedy, the University has established the Ever True Support Fund. Donations from those who have expressed a desire to support Brown will help meet the financial and emotional needs of our community while also assisting Brown’s community recovery efforts.

Gifts to this new fund will be put to current use (not endowed) and will help to ensure the University can respond thoughtfully, responsibly, and compassionately to both immediate and long-term needs in the aftermath of tragic events, while continuing to prioritize the well-being, safety, and resilience of the community.

If the objective of this fund is meaningful to you, make a gift to the Ever True Support Fund.

In addition, a gift to the Student Emergency Support Fund will provide direct support to meet the immediate needs of students who require emergency assistance with unexpected expenses.

“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.
