The Parent and Family Fund supports the distinctive qualities that set Emerson apart from other colleges and universities. The resources provided by the fund are dedicated directly to improving the quality of the student experience at Emerson and all gifts help to maintain and expand the resources that allow our students to succeed.

The Parent and Family Annual Fund has an immediate impact on college priorities, including:

  • Investing in distinguished faculty
  • Enhancing scholarship programs
  • Expanding our academic footprint beyond Boston, Los Angeles, and the Netherlands
  • Establishing new programs and extraordinary learning opportunities

The level of excellence at Emerson College is enhanced by the generosity of those who support our mission. With the support of engaged parents and families, Emersonians can spark powerful change.

We hope you join us by supporting the Parent and Family with a direct gift to the fund or by joining our Parent and Family Network. Your support will help fuel the kind of passion, collaboration, creativity, and ambition that our world needs.

Make a Gift

I didn't have the opportunity to afford a school like Emerson College when I was younger, so I am thrilled to give that opportunity to Emerson students. The fact that I can help three students graduate and fulfill their dreams is such a rewarding experience. To see how diverse the students are from all backgrounds and how passionate they are about school is truly inspiring.

Family Executive Council

We invite you to join the Emerson College Family Executive Council. This vibrant community meets twice a year and throughout the year in local chapters. The purpose of the Council is to connect fellow families, engage members with campus programs and faculty, and enrich the student experience through philanthropy to the Parent and Family Fund.
