Why Donate to the Fulbright Association?

The Fulbright Association exists to advance peace and mutual understanding through international exchange—and your donation keeps that mission alive.

1. Strengthen the Global Fulbright Network

Your gift sustains a vibrant community of more than 140,000 U.S. Fulbright alumni and 50+ local chapters who continue to build bridges long after their exchanges end. Together, we connect scholars, educators, and leaders across every field and continent.

2. Empower the Next Generation

Contributions support mentoring programs, chapter events, and youth initiatives that inspire students to pursue study, research, and service abroad. Every dollar helps open the door for more people to experience the transformative power of exchange.

3. Protect and Champion the Fulbright Program

We are the national voice of the Fulbright community, advocating for strong federal support and ensuring that this life-changing program continues for generations to come.

4. Celebrate Global Impact

From honoring distinguished alumni to sharing stories of Fulbrighters changing lives in their communities, your donation amplifies the message that international understanding matters—now more than ever.

5. Your Gift Creates Connection

Every contribution—large or small—helps us create spaces where alumni meet, learn, and work together to solve global challenges.
