 Not only do I feel a desire to repay the school for its valuable role in my life, but as a greater Cleveland resident, I want to see it succeed in developing future entrepreneurs and business leaders who will help Cleveland prosper.  – David Daberko, chairman, National City Bank, Class of 1970

The Weatherhead Fund is a yearly appeal that is essential to the Weatherhead School's success. These annual gifts offer unrestricted funds that can be used immediately to meet the school's most important needs as well as position the school to seize new opportunities as they arise. Annual gifts provide funding for many areas including student scholarships, student activities, alumni programming, faculty research, and curriculum development. We look to our most valuable asset -- our alumni and friends -- to create a philanthropic base of support for the school through their yearly contributions to the Weatherhead Annual Fund, Dean's Discretionary Fund, the Moving Forward Fund, and the Executive Doctor of Management (EDM) Advancement Fund.
The Weatherhead Annual Fund
The Weatherhead Annual Fund is the most effective way for contributors to have an impact upon the school. The dollars raised are unrestricted and can be used immediately. This fund supports faculty research, student scholarships and alumni programming.
The Dean’s Discretionary Fund
This fund enables Weatherhead's dean to boost programs, maintain facilities and extend financial support to an area in need.
The Moving Forward Fund
This annual student initiative, spearheaded by the graduating class, provides a scholarship to an incoming student. The Moving Forward Fund allows students to become involved in philanthropic activity for the school prior to graduation.
The EDM Advancement Fund
The EDM Advancement Fund supports the Executive Doctor of Management's practitioner-scholar mission through research seminars, scholarships, guest lectures, and global promotion.
