What Your Gift Can Do
Your annual gift can help to make a year at Yale Law School possible, and your major gift can support us in perpetuity.
  • Tuition contributes approximately 35 percent of  Yale Law School’s annual revenue
  • The Law School’s endowment provides approximately 45 percent
  • Current use gifts from alumni and friends provide the balance
  • Gifts also make possible special research projects by the faculty and students

For individuals who may be interested in a gift of $100,000 or more, there are a number of opportunities to establish endowed funds that will benefit the School in perpetuity.  Annual gifts of between $100 and $50,000 are vital in keeping the School going each year.
 
Donors may designate current use gifts of up to $100,000 to one of six categories: unrestricted current use, financial aid, teaching and research, library, clinical programs, dean's discretion or student life.
