Alumni Giving
In early 1998, the Alumni Fund was established to celebrate RAND's 50th anniversary year. Over 200 Alumni Association members contributed more than $50,000 to the Fund in that charter year. Alumni support has remained generous since the start. In 2005, the RAND Alumni Association (RAA) conducted a two-year campaign to have a conference room in RAND's new headquarters building in Santa Monica named in its honor. The campaign was enthusiastically supported by RAA members and raised $155,000, all of which is currently being used to support RAND-initiated research.
The Alumni Fund also offers the opportunity for members and donors to make Tribute gifts where you can make contributions to honor fellow RANDites, family members, and friends. Some alumni may also wish to help ensure RAND's future by making a planned gift now, or including a bequest in their wills, through the RAND Legacy Circle.
RAND is grateful to each and every member for their thoughtful support. Your continued generosity was especially instrumental in the success of RAND's first fundraising campaign, "The Reach of Reason," which concluded in the spring of 2005 with the dedication of our new headquarters facility in Santa Monica.
