The Hopkins Parents Fund
The Hopkins Parents Fund directly supports student programming, campus traditions, and extracurricular activities that are not covered by tuition and fees. Your impactful gift empowers Hopkins to offer additional resources, support services, events, and activities throughout the year enhancing student life and providing an essential element of community and balance to the rigorous JHU academic experience.
Blue Jay families are among the university’s most loyal supporters and strongest advocates. You share a unique perspective on the undergraduate student experience, and your philanthropy directly impacts your student and their classmates. We encourage you to become an annual supporter of Johns Hopkins and the Parents Leadership Giving Circle, strengthening your engagement with the university and further enhancing student life on the Homewood campus.
“The students left [the theatre] feeling their world just got a little bigger.”
