Standing up for an ideal
It’s an act of radical optimism. A declaration that a more perfect world is within reach. And that we, together, have the power to realize it.
When we called for supporters to stand behind our mission, you answered resoundingly, giving for Yale and for humanity.
Yale is deeply grateful to the donors and volunteers who contributed so much to For Humanity.
Your generous support of the For Humanity campaign is already yielding dividends that will be felt for many years to come. By empowering Yale’s faculty and students to keep advancing the quest for knowledge, you have opened the door for new insights and deeper understanding. Thank you!
We launched For Humanity with the hope that Yale’s extraordinary resources could be directed to solve great challenges and bring the light and truth of knowledge into the world. I am so grateful and inspired by all of you who generously supported this vision.
Your giving has strengthened Yale’s historic excellence and expanded our reach in frontier fields. I’m grateful for your trust—and for the future you’ve helped build for generations of faculty, students, and staff. With your support, we can pursue knowledge that helps meet the defining challenges of our time.
Investment and Impact
By giving across the university, you helped to build on Yale’s unique strengths. Your support across the campaign’s four priority areas has expanded our potential to make a difference, as an institution, as a community, and as individual actors engaged around the globe.

What Was Accomplished
In the years preceding the public launch, the university engaged in a “quiet phase” of fundraising to build the campaign’s foundation. Alumni, parents, and friends, along with corporate and foundation donors, contributed nearly $3.5 billion to the nucleus fund, which includes qualifying gifts made since the last capital campaign and all gifts made in the fiscal years 2019–2021. During the public phase of the campaign, spanning the fiscal years 2022–2026, donors contributed an average $811 million per year, bringing the campaign total to $7.46 billion.
Campaign Milestones
The core aspiration of the For Humanity campaign was to engage the wider Yale community in bold investments that would expand our capacity to address today’s greatest challenges. During the quiet and public phases of the campaign, alumni, parents, and friends were both generous and strategic, making gifts that brought lasting change to Yale and the world.
Community, Illuminated
The For Humanity campaign was an opportunity to engage the entire Yale community. In addition to our fundraising goal, we worked strategically to connect alumni to Yale and to each other. For Humanity Illuminated was the campaign’s flagship effort to bring Yale and its ambitions to communities around the nation and the world.
