Parents are invited to attend a Stanford parent event and to become involved with Stanford as donors and volunteers.
Students give thanks to Stanford Parents.
Parents and The Stanford Fund
When parents give to The Stanford Fund for Undergraduate Education, they support and enhance the undergraduate experience of all Stanford students, including their own. Since tuition covers only about 60 percent of the cost of a Stanford education, each and every student's education has been made possible through the generosity of past and present benefactors. Learn more about how Stanford Fund gifts are allocated and why gifts to The Stanford Fund are important.
During the 2010–11 school year, more than 5,950 parents gave a combined $3,750,000 to The Stanford Fund. The goal for parents for the 2011–12 school year is $3,850,000. You can view our current results by class and see how our overall results compare to previous years.

Parents and Volunteerism
Stanford parents are extremely generous with their time. Some parents choose to get involved in their local area through the Stanford Alumni Association. Others help by hosting or helping with Stanford gatherings in their home or place of business.
Another way to get involved is by becoming a member of The Parent Partners Committee for The Stanford Fund. The committee spreads the word about the Parent Partners giving level and raises gifts for The Stanford Fund. Volunteers are invited to a special cocktail reception during Parents' Weekend and receive recognition in Stanford publications.
The Parents' Advisory Board leads the way in volunteerism. It is made up of a group of 55 families from around the U.S. and the world who meet on campus three times per year. In addition to assisting with outreach events, the board provides feedback to the university's administration and assists with fundraising.
To get involved as a volunteer, simply fill out our volunteer form (PDF).
