Recognition: Discover all the advantages reserved for Donors
Our way of saying thank you
The trust and support of Alumni, Partners and Donors are crucial not only in the process of Bocconi’s progressive growth and development as a university, but also in rendering the University increasingly attractive for talented students, faculty and researchers from all over the world. It is also thanks to their contribution that Bocconi is able to increase its efforts to promote the values of inclusion, innovation and sustainability – generating a significant impact on society and strengthening its own role as social elevator.
To express our gratitude and recognize the value of your gestures, we have developed a gift recognition plan – for either individual or corporate gifts – made in this fiscal year.

Alumni and individuals that choose to donate to the endowment, rather than to current priorities, are donors who demonstrate that they place great trust in the University, its mission and its management of resources. The endowment is, in fact, the University's capital fund, which the University invests for the long-term and which generates an annual return, guaranteeing the independence and sustainability of Bocconi activities over time.
This society comprises all donors who have made a bequest to the University. Ettore Bocconi, son of Ferdinando and brother of Luigi, led the University until his death and bequeathed the entire Bocconi family estate to the University his father had founded.

The laurel (alloro) wreath in the University's crest represents the accomplishment and the good fortune of having achieved knowledge and understanding through sacrifice and dedication. The laurel - laurus in Latin, from which the word "laureate" also derives - is a symbol of victory, knowledge and wisdom. For this reason, it is used to crown new graduates.
- from €1,000 to €9,999
The lion sculptures, by Arturo Martini, in the entrance hall of the main building at Via Sarfatti 25, are the University's symbol par excellence. Tradition has it that you may walk between them only after graduating. Lions represent strength, prudence and courage.
- up to €999
The pelican has been the University's mascot since the time of the Bocconi University Graduates Association (ALUB), which chose it as its symbol at the beginning of the last century.
This society recognizes all donors who have supported the University for at least two consecutive years. It commemorates the year in which Ferdinando Bocconi, by donating part of his own estate, founded Bocconi University in memory of his son Luigi.

The companies, foundations and institutions that choose to donate to the endowment, rather than to current initiatives, are donors who demonstrate that they place great trust in the University, its mission and its management of resources. The endowment is the University's capital fund, which the University invests for the long term and which generates an annual return, guaranteeing the independence and sustainability of Bocconi activities over time.
A selected group of corporations, foundations and institutions which, sharing the University's vision and strategic goals, choose to support it with large donations of long-term duration in its development process, becoming an active part in the future of our society and the country.
These are partners committed to supporting wide-ranging projects over a long-term period. By making major donations, these corporations, foundations and institutions finance scholarship programs, academic positions, research programs, technology or classrooms and campus spaces, helping the University to achieve its goal of putting knowledge and expertise at the service of the community.
Companies, foundations and entities wishing to support a specific initiative: educational programs and research activities, scholarships and projects implemented on Campus.
