Parent & Family Giving
Every gift to The 1850 Fund is a tangible way to support your student’s Gunn experience. Annual gifts from current parents, grandparents and parents of alumni have an immediate impact on every student and faculty member by funding extracurricular activities, campus renewal projects, faculty development, department budgets, and much more.
