Parents Leadership Council
Parents of Yale College students play an important role in advancing the mission of the university as donors and advocates.
Advocating for Excellence
The Parents Leadership Council (PLC) is a committee of current Yale College parents dedicated to strengthening Yale. Parents focus their philanthropy initially through gifts to the Parents Annual Fund at the Leaders Circle level—a minimum of $40,000 annually during their student’s time in Yale College—to address Yale College’s most urgent needs at the discretion of the Dean. As parents become familiar with the breadth of engagement opportunities in the Yale community, they may choose to increase their philanthropy through endowed funds or capital gifts to areas of particular interest.
Members are invited to meet on campus twice a year with top faculty members and university leaders, gaining insights into the latest Yale initiatives while enjoying lectures, social activities with other families, and tours of campus facilities. Parents Leadership Council members also serve as informal Yale ambassadors, sometimes hosting events in their home communities.
Our commitment to education and to ensuring that all Yale students have access to all that Yale offers has inspired us to give back to the community through the Parents Leadership Council.
