INSEADforGood: Founders Pledge

INSEAD entrepreneurs come from a long tradition of leaders who inspire, innovate and activate the big ideas that change business for the better. Since our school's inception, the ripple effects of INSEAD's entrepreneurial spirit have been felt around the world.

The Founders Pledge is an opportunity for our entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to partner with INSEAD to amplify their success, subscription to INSEAD school updates and join a global group of innovators affiliated with the school.

What is the Founders Pledge?

The INSEAD Founders Pledge provides alumni and donors with a rewarding platform to make INSEAD a partner in your future success and join enterprising peers in enabling the school to be a force for good in the world. Through a non-binding commitment, Founders can designate a percentage of their future proceeds at their specified time and to a programme of their choosing.

Is there a minimum pledge percentage or amount?

There is no minimum. INSEAD is deeply appreciative of all gifts as your support enables us to fulfil our vision of being the business school for the world. Many donors commit at least 1% of their shares or interest for optimal impact.

Can I designate my pledge to any programme?

Yes, you may direct your gift to an area that most directly fits with your desired impact and interest.

What are the tax ramifications?

There are no tax ramifications when making the pledge—only when thecharitable gift is made. To better understand your personal tax situation, you should contact a qualified tax advisor.

What is the Founders Society?

Upon taking the Founders pledge, you immediately become a member of the Founders Society, an exclusive community of INSEAD alumni with access to the INSEAD network of events, subscription to INSEAD School updates, Founders and global faculty. Founders also will receive an exclusive Salamander pin to highlight their support.
