Make a Donation

Kellogg relies heavily on the generosity of alumni and friends to achieve its goals for the future. Dean Dipak C. Jain has articulated team, thought and market leadership as the key initiatives the school will pursue in the years to come.

Your gift enables the school to maintain the highest caliber of education and to provide this generation of students with the skills they will need to manage the enterprises of the future. The involvement of alumni and partners solidifies the Kellogg brand and strengthens the Kellogg community throughout the world.

Listed below are several methods of making a gift to the Kellogg School. Please remember that many companies will match gifts to educational institutions, considerably increasing the size of your gift. These donations are credited directly to the donor. Your company's human resources department should be able to provide you with further details. All gifts made to the Kellogg School of Management are tax-deductible.

Online Giving
Kellogg encourages donors to contribute online, using Northwestern University's Online Giving site. In order to direct your gift to the Kellogg School, you will need to select the "Kellogg School of Management" from the second drop box located in the "Gift" section.

Cash or Checks
Cash and checks are the simplest way of giving for most people and may be submitted in the response envelopes that are sent several times per year. Please make checks payable to the Kellogg School of Management.
