Every gift is Jumbo!
2026-2027 Theme: Internships
Twenty-five years ago, the first Entrepreneurship Minors graduated. They started a community of entrepreneurial leaders—turning ideas into action ever since. Today, that energy fuels students landing internships at startups, small businesses, and nonprofits—the kind of gig where you’re not fetching coffee, you’re building the business. Thanks to our partnership with the Career Center, we turn unpaid, hard-to-find opportunities into paid ones. It’s working: we’ve grown from backing a couple of students a year to 10-15, with real jobs, real solutions, real impact.
Now we want to go further. This year, your gift helps us:
- Hit our 25th anniversary goal: 15 paid internships, every single year.
- Connect students with internships where they can learn by doing.
- Make the next 25 years even better than the last 25.
Every gift is Jumbo. Chip in, and help the next generation of Tufts entrepreneurs get their shot.
