Shaping the Future, One Gift at a Time…
Year after year, alumni generosity enables INSEAD to develop exceptional leaders and equip businesses and individuals with breakthrough knowledge to address pressing global challenges. This past year is no exception. Read on to learn how donors like you are shaping the future, one gift at a time.
INSEAD Fund
Giving Together for INSEAD’s Future
The INSEAD Fund, our school’s annual fund, rallies alumni to support life-changing scholarships, transformative research, and groundbreaking academic programmes. Through the power of collective giving, each contribution gives INSEAD the financial flexibility to advance its mission of developing responsible leaders who transform business and society.
Thanks go out to more than 5,400 alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends who raised €5.7M toward the future. The number of loyal contributors giving consecutively for five years or more grew to 792. Energised by Giving Day and a new Young Alumni Scholarship, recent graduates showed strong support for INSEAD, while reunions reconnected classmates with the values our global community shares.
Dean's Fund
Flexible Funds for Uncertain Times
Opportunities and challenges can arise suddenly amidst rapid change. In times like these, unrestricted gifts to the Dean’s Fund are vital because they can be applied toward emerging needs, keeping INSEAD proactive and responsive.
Scholarships remained a Dean’s Fund priority as many MBA and MIM students struggled to finance a business education that supports their dreams. The Dean’s Fund also helped keep INSEAD faculty on the leading edge with research on issues of timely importance.

Scholarships
Changing Lives, Developing Leaders
Too many aspiring leaders are facing daunting challenges to fund an INSEAD degree. The impacts of global conflict and inflation on economies around the world make scholarships more important than ever in sustaining a community of excellence.
Support for scholarships is a direct way to shape the future of INSEAD. Through their generosity, donors help ensure that each class unites students of diverse nationalities, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds in an environment designed to develop leaders. In 2023/2024, scholarships eased the financial burden for 40 percent of INSEAD students, opening doors to talented individuals who share our vision of a more equitable, peaceful, and prosperous world.
Research
An Incubator for New Knowledge and Bold Solutions
Each year, members of our community invest in the excellence of INSEAD’s faculty and the quality, rigour, and impact of their work by making gifts to research. In the process, donors grow our school’s global reputation, enabling INSEAD to compete for stellar faculty whose work shapes the way businesses around the world address shared challenges. This knowledge is then transferred to the classroom, driving excellence in teaching.
Gift by gift, donor generosity has helped make INSEAD a renowned incubator for new knowledge and bold solutions powered by respected experts in their fields. Often these experts choose INSEAD because, here, they find inspiring peers, brilliant students, and support for innovative thinking that advances their field and feeds their teaching.
