Make Your Gift

Everything we do at Harvard Law School is a community effort — teaching, public service, Reunions, and more.

Your show of support is a reflection of what HLS has meant to your career and your life, and the value you place on the role it plays in society and the advancement of the legal profession.

There are many ways for HLS alumni to support our community and while monetary gifts are always appreciated, we are also grateful for gifts of your time as well.

Reunion Committee

  • Peter Krause

    HLS has played a significant role in the lives of me and my family. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve as a reunion volunteer. Alumni involvement and support are the lifeblood of an educational institution.

    – Peter Krause ‘74

  • Langdell Hall

    Volunteering to help with reunions is certainly a way to stay in touch, or get back in touch, with classmates. But it also provides a way to learn about HLS as it evolves and see the succeeding generations of HLS students as they prepare to enter the profession. If you think HLS contributed to your success as a lawyer, joining in your Reunion Class gift is a way to acknowledge that by assisting those who will be joining us as alumni.

    – Philip Ward ’74

Each class’s Reunion Committee focuses on gift-related outreach to encourage classmates to make contributions of any size to their class’s Reunion gift campaign.

If you are interested in helping to raise money toward your class’s Reunion gift and in support of HLS’s mission and continued excellence, or want to learn more about volunteering to be part of your class’s Reunion Committee, please contact fund@law.harvard.edu.

Class Agent Program

The Class Agent Program (CAP) has been a staple of alumni engagement and fundraising at Harvard Law School since the mid-1950s. Participation in CAP is a great way to rekindle old friendships and start new ones while asking your HLS classmates to join you in supporting the Law School.

Last year, CAP included representatives across dozens of classes who reached out to hundreds of classmates. Their phone calls, letters, texts, and email messages helped to bolster the HLS Annual Fund and provide the dean with resources to support the Law School’s curricular innovation, financial aid, campus improvements, and much more. Alumni volunteers and donors are the driving force behind CAP’s success.
