"Wherever our lives take us, we all share a sense of purpose that is articulated in INSEAD’s mission. Through our actions as individuals and through collective giving, we breathe life into that mission, making INSEAD The Business School for the World. I am deeply inspired by our community’s generosity and by everything we are accomplishing together. Let’s keep up the momentum in 2023!"

"Will INSEAD’s mission stand the test of time? Will we remain The Business School for the World? Although we can’t know through a single snapshot in time, giving to INSEAD in 2021/2022 suggests “yes!” As a community, excellence is in our DNA. Each gift to the school activates our potential to make a positive difference in the world through business."

"As we enter the last year of the Force for Good campaign, our focus is participation. We set an ambitious goal to ask 50% of our alumni to contribute and I am thrilled that we are almost there. Thank you to all who have already given. We couldn’t have done it without you. I hope we can count on your continued support in the coming years."

“I am so proud of who we are and how far we have come at INSEAD. We don’t just sit and wait for things to happen. We are change agents: We make things happen. I am deeply grateful to our donors for championing this campaign. You are each a true force for good — and we are even more powerful together.”

"We believe in the narrative that business is a force for good, and that INSEAD contributes to business growth and business success. We made a conscious decision to make a habit out of giving and to donate a percentage of income annually. INSEAD is close to our hearts and has a prime spot on our list of causes."

"INSEAD prepares you to make a quantum jump in life. The intense and diverse education I received was instrumental to achieving high-ranked positions in finance and entrepreneurship. Having profited so much from the INSEAD experience, I am happy to give to the Dean’s Fund. In my opinion, the Dean is best positioned to allocate funds to really make a difference."

"INSEAD has always been close to my heart. Hence, I have chosen to support the institution ever since I graduated in 1999. This recent gift is very substantial for me, and I directed the yield toward a topic dear to me, sustainable finance. I wish that it may inspire other alumni to make a gift, too. That would be a most wonderful reward!"

"Throughout its history, INSEAD has redefined excellence as a global management institution, and elevating the school’s architecture and aesthetics is a continuation of this strong tradition. By transforming the campus, we will transform the MBA experience—creating a world-class environment that inspires innovation, challenges thinking and convenes critical conversations for future leaders who aspire to serve as a force for good."

"I strongly believe — today more than ever — that in such troubled times the world needs educational and societal projects such as INSEAD’s. I have three young children, and I sincerely hope that INSEAD’s values will continue to thrive and develop to build a better world for them. I wish that my pledge will be the first of a lifelong commitment."

"What inspires me most about INSEAD is its culture of lateral thinking and innovation and its clear vision for the future. I started giving to INSEAD when I was an EMBA student because I felt privileged to come to the school and wanted to pay it forward. Now, as an alumnus, I continue to give to scholarships to support the next generation."

"I believe encouraging recent alumni to make an annual habit of giving helps them form a strong and sustainable connection to INSEAD. Knowing their gifts will be matched is often a powerful incentive. Consistent support of the school is a priority for me, as my year in Fontainebleau was personally transformative — and I could not be more grateful to INSEAD."

"After receiving the Robin Hood Scholarship from the MBA’21J class, I pledged to lead the campaign for my own class and make someone else’s dream a reality. It was humbling to cochair the campaign and give a future student the opportunity to come to INSEAD. As another point of pride, the first NFT for INSEAD was created in support of our campaign!"

"Joining the Robin Hood campaign was one of the most rewarding experiences of my INSEAD journey because it allowed me to have a tangible impact on the next generation of students at INSEAD. By rallying our entire class together to support the cause, we ensured that a deserving student gets the financial support necessary to embark on the same life-changing journey as we did."

"In true MBA spirit, we set up our appeal as a contest between the four sections of our promotion and organised four teams of three classmates who targeted their own sections for donations. Our aim was to fund, for as long as possible, a significant scholarship for women with financial need who want to make the world a better place, and we’re delighted with the results."

"Consistency matters. Businesses rely on loyal customers for consistent revenues. Similarly, educational institutions rely on loyal alumni and friends for consistent donations to fund essential projects. INSEAD is no different. Since graduating, I have taken personal pride in being a consistent donor to INSEAD. Through participation in my class’s fund committee, I encourage my classmates to give what they can and also be consistent donors year after year."

"Given my circumstances when deciding to go to business school, it gives me joy to create a scholarship that supports students who are financially stretched but want to go to INSEAD. INSEAD gave my wife, Christina, and I incredible learning experiences, a global network and opportunities that we might not have otherwise had. We hope our scholarship will give others the same."

"INSEAD was an intense year that opened our perspectives, boosted our careers and gave us a global network. It gave me [Fabiane] the opportunity to become a global leader. But women are still underrepresented at INSEAD and in business. The Women Scholarship enables more women to become future leaders and carry the ethos of the school forward."
 

"INSEAD has always been at the forefront of innovation, both in research and teaching. I am inspired by Professor Philippe Aghion’s cutting-edge research on growth mechanisms and innovation. By creating this Chair, I wanted to further support this critical area and ensure that INSEAD continues to be a catalyst for
knowledge creation."

"INSEAD was a transformational year in our lives. We give so it can be a life-changing year for others. We are excited to support the next generation of leaders aligned with INSEAD values by renewing the Fontainebleau campus, an iconic location dear to our hearts, and by advancing diversity in all its forms."

"INSEAD is close and dear to the Tanoto family’s heart. Fontainebleau is where my father, Sukanto Tanoto, attended his first business course, in 1980. We will continue to support INSEAD to help future business leaders realise their full potential and become global drivers of change for a better and greener world!"

"I was drawn to INSEAD’s diversity and its mission to be a force for good. But I worried the burden of a large loan would affect my experience. My scholarship became the North Star that guided me. When I doubted myself, I would think of the donors who supported me and remember that they believed in my potential."

"Early hardships gave me courage and forced me to do my best. Working for the automotive industry in Spain motivated me to apply to INSEAD to expand my business skills and international outlook. My scholarship didn’t just help me financially. It also assured me that I am valued for who I am. To INSEAD donors I say: You make dreams come true."

"INSEAD’s MBA programme is a life-changing opportunity that will impact my career as well as the Palestinian community that I feel such pride and duty toward. I will work hard to ensure that I get the most out of my time here. Someday I hope to help others achieve their dreams that, without a scholarship, can seem impossible."

"I am deeply grateful to the alumni who believed in future students enough to fund my scholarship. At INSEAD, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects that could expand information access to millions of Africans. Thank you for extending a hand so students like me can envision possibilities beyond where they are today. With your support, the journey to INSEAD can begin anywhere."

"INSEAD is truly unique; it hangs like a bubble in a vacuum, surrounded by nothing. It has no university or government to support it. It has only us. If we don’t take ownership of INSEAD, it will disappear. So, we should give — not as much as we think we can, but as much as we know we should. If not us, who? If not now, when?"
