Support our activities!
How do we use your donation?
All Yale Club activities are funded entirely by donations from alumni and friends!
Your donations will directly benefit our club activities (alumni in-person and online events, scholarships, essay contests, lectures, the Munich Dialogues on Democracy, …).
If you want to support a specific activity, you can indicate so during the Paypal checkout process. If you donate by bank transfer, please write your desired earmark as Verwendungszweck/note to payee.
