Tepper Alumni Philanthropy Volunteers

You can promote alumni giving participation by serving as a key liaison to the alumni community.


Tepper Alumni Philanthropy (TAP) volunteers serve the Tepper School of Business in a formal capacity through peer-to-peer outreach.

As TAP volunteers, alumni engage with and solicit fellow alumni for annual gifts to the School. TAP volunteers are representatives of their classes, their chapters, or their companies, serving as liaisons to the school.

Currently, the Tepper School is looking to increase alumni participation from 23 percent to 30 percent over the next three years. We know we can accomplish this goal with the help of alumni like you, and we rely on the networks of our close-knit alumni community to expand our reach and inspire even broader support.

The most successful giving and participation campaigns are those in which alumni give their time and financial resources to the school and ask those in their spheres of influence to do the same.
