Parents and families are an important part of the Penn community. Our office facilitates a variety of opportunities designed to help deepen your relationship with the University and with fellow Penn families through volunteering, virtual events, and in-person regional or on-campus events when possible.
Penn Parents Council
The Penn Parents Council is a leadership group of dedicated parents who serve as ambassadors to the broader community of Penn parents and families. Through their philanthropic commitment to The Penn Fund and their unique insight in committee work, members help further Penn’s mission and enrich the undergraduate experience for every student.

Support The Penn Fund
Each year, thousands of parents and family members choose to support The Penn Fund. Your gifts make an immediate and tangible impact on the undergraduate experience by supporting student-focused initiatives such as Penn’s grant-based financial aid program, cutting-edge classroom technology, academic and wellness resources, and co-curricular activities that provide a holistic educational experience.
