About Us

Every year, the Senior Class Fund comes together to celebrate the achievements of their class, plan memorable senior year events and experiences, educate classmates about the importance of philanthropy for the Hilltop, and encourage their peers to make their senior class gift. The Senior Class Fund is the start of the senior class’ lifelong relationship with Georgetown and the opportunity for the senior class to leave a lasting philanthropic legacy on the Hilltop before they graduate. Thanks to the generosity of senior Hoyas each year, Georgetown’s Senior Class Fund consistently achieves impressive participation rates and ranks as one of the top senior class giving programs in the country.

The Senior Class Fund designs a new slogan and logo each year to reflect our class’s legacy and connection to Georgetown. This year, our logo features a classic blue Georgetown townhouse paired with the slogan “Celebrating Our Forever Home.” The townhouse captures both the literal and figurative sense of “home” that the Class of 2026 has built over the past four years, while also drawing a charming connection to the Georgetown neighborhood surrounding our campus. Georgetown has shaped who we are, and it will continue to be a part of us long after graduation. Our slogan reminds us that Georgetown will always be a “forever home” to return to, whether through the alumni network, resources, friendships, treasured memories, or future visits back to the Hilltop. Now, it’s our turn to give back. It’s up to us to ensure Georgetown remains a place that can deliver a sense of belonging, purpose, and pride. By giving seniors the opportunity to give back, we can honor what made Georgetown feel most like home and ultimately continue the legacy of our experience for generations of Hoyas to come. Together, we can celebrate not only the home we’ve found here, but also the community we will carry with us into the future. We look forward to uniting our Hoya family in celebrating the forever home that Georgetown University will always be for the Class of 2026.

What is the Senior Class Fund?

The Senior Class Fund is a Georgetown tradition for members of the senior class to come together and leave their lasting legacy on the Hilltop before graduation by making a senior class gift. Seniors who choose to make a donation to Georgetown of any amount $5 or more during their senior year are invited to Senior Class Fund events throughout the year, including several signature senior class events. The Senior Class Fund is led by a board of dedicated class leaders.

Where does my gift go?

Seniors can choose to make their senior class gift to whatever aspect of the Hilltop has most impacted their Georgetown experience: whether scholarships or any student organization, athletics program, academic department, or resource center.

How will my gift make an impact?

When it comes to giving to Georgetown, participation matters. The Senior Class Fund’s goal is all about participation, so it’s not how much you give, but simply that you give at all that matters most and will help your class come together to achieve its goal.

Furthermore, Georgetown’s leadership in higher education and power to create positive change depends greatly on philanthropy, and every year small gifts collectively add up to have a major impact on the Hilltop. Your senior class gift helps make possible everything Georgetown is and aspires to be—and helps ensure that future Hoyas are able to have experiences on the Hilltop as great as your own.
