College Students Membership Fund

Please help us cultivate tomorrow’s scholars and environmental stewards by making a gift to the College Students Membership Program today!

As part of our mission to share awe-inspiring collections with broad and diverse audiences, The Huntington launched the College Students Membership Program, and the response has been impressive. Since the program began five years ago, it has grown from awarding 100 Memberships in 2019 to approximately 500 recipients each year following, benefiting students attending nearly 70 different colleges and universities throughout Southern California.

This program makes a difference in the lives of college students, and we need your help to continue it.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 before the end of the calendar year on Dec. 31, 2024. To help build this important fund, longtime Huntington donor Caron Broidy has agreed to match gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 by Dec. 31—doubling their impact!
