Donate to the Haas Impact Internship Award
HIIA funding comes primarily from Haas’s first-year MBAs, who typically donate one day of their summer internship salary to the fund to demonstrate Haas’ commitment to supporting non-profit/public sector endeavors. Contributions from matching corporation donations, alumni, and other donors are another integral part of HIIA.
Consider contributing merely a day of your internship or job compensation to help out others. You can quickly calculate your possible contribution here.
