A lot! As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, the club receives no funding from Harvard University or the Harvard Alumni Association. We use dues and other donations to support our charitable endeavors, including:
- Our Book Award, which is given to local high school students during their junior year, rewarding them for their hard work and community engagement. For students from under-resourced schools, this award may be the first time they consider applying to Harvard.
- Our community service intern stipends, which go to current Harvard students doing summer projects in the DC area.
- Annual scholarships for DC area students who attend Harvard.
- Schools Committee events and trainings for alumni interviewers and newly-admitted students.
