Giving

Giving back to the Robertson is about recognizing the unbelievable opportunities scholars are given, it’s also about recognizing that we all have a role to play in creating these opportunities for the future scholars. Funds will be used to enrich the definitive Robertson experiences —things like the first-year NOLS retreat, the Community Summer, Dinners for Six with faculty and alumni, and the Senior Capstone. With your ongoing financial support and continued input, these experiences will continue to grow and push current and future Scholars to expand their horizons and meet their potential. One time donations or monthly recurring gifts are possible through our online giving portal. There are many ways to give, including your time, talent, and treasure. Please take a look at our FAQs below for more information on giving and philanthropy here at RSLP.

The RSLP has never asked for alumni to give financially before this. What’s up? Is something wrong with the program’s funding?

Absolutely not. Through Julian Robertson’s continued generosity, the RSLP is fortunate to be on firm financial footing. This is a chance for Alumni, Scholars and parents to demonstrate their continued commitment to the RSLP and to co-invest with Julian in the RSLP’s mission of raising up transformational leaders committed to the RSLP’s values of purposeful leadership, intellectual curiosity, strength of character, and collaborative spirit.

When I give to the Robertson Program, where does my money go?

Your money enriches the definitive Robertson experiences for future scholars—things like the first-year NOLS retreat, the Community Summer, Dinners for Eight with faculty and alumni, the Senior Capstone, and the list goes on. With your ongoing financial support and continued input, these experiences will continue to grow and push current and future scholars to expand their horizons and meet their potential.

What’s the best way to give to the Program?

Are gifts to the Robertson Program tax-deductible?

What are other ways I can give back to the Program in addition to giving financially?

Is there any new programming that my contribution may support?

Check out the Scholar Programming page – here - so many parts of the Program that we enjoyed, but also quite a few things have been added – Sophomore Retreat and the Rethink Program, for example! Additionally, year after year the number of Dinners for 8 that Scholars host (and the Program pays for) is increasing. Similarly, the demand for LEAD grants (funding for conferences and seminars) has seen a huge surge in recent years.
