Jane and Leland Stanford envisioned a great institution serving countless generations. That vision has been realized largely because a dedicated few shared their foresight and generosity.
Through the Founders’ Circle, the university recognizes alongside Jane and Leland Stanford those whose lifetime giving has surpassed $1 million. Of Stanford’s 200,000 alumni, parents, and friends, fewer than 1,300 have achieved this distinction.
Your generosity connects you with Stanford’s founders and plays a vital role in shaping Stanford’s future.

"Students. . . I hope your lives will be truly earnest, not in the sense of going forth to acquire great wealth and great names; but to be conscientious workers, to be helpful to others, to send cheer and goodwill to those who need lifting up, and to always follow the Golden Rule."
