Ross is known for its collaborative culture and engagement in social impact. No other initiative exemplifies this better than the student-led Give-A-Day Fund.
The Fund is a first-of-its-kind initiative among U.S. business schools. The GADF engages Ross MBAs with the social impact community by providing financial assistance to students interning with impact organizations, which often provide interns with little to no salary. As its name implies, MBA students are asked to donate a day of their summer internship salary to make this support possible.
Now over a decade old, the Give-A-Day Fund has raised more than $200,000 with the help of over 1,000 Ross MBA students and helps support anywhere from 5-10 students each summer.
