Donors can choose to earmark their contribution to benefit a particular goal, such as funding student scholarships or research. Moreover, the gift will strengthen the RSM alumni community as 10% of the donations received for the Annual Fund will directly fund alumni activities. RSM also hopes to positively impact society by giving another 10% of annual alumni donations to a good cause, selected by the donors.

”RSM aims first and foremost for a high rate of participation among its alumni. By the end of 2010, the school hopes to give five €10,000 scholarships to MBA students, five €10,000 scholarships to MSc students and €25,000 for activities to stimulate research with high managerial impact.

"The RSM Annual Fund ensures that the most talented, promising, and creative young leaders of the future will be part of the RSM community through our scholarship programme", said RSM’s Dean George Yip. The Fund will also provide support for relevant, high-quality management research that will help create the future of business.

RSM is honoured to partner with the Vereniging Trustfonds Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam in this annual fund initiative. The Erasmus Trustfonds is a recognised charitable organisation in The Netherlands.
