Interested in DONATING to FOP?We are dedicated to making FOP accessible to any interested student, regardless of means. Each year, dedicated leaders, alumni, and friends of the program donate money to help move us toward that goal. We're delighted to announce that we've reached our goal of raising $28,000! If you are thinking about giving, every dollar we raise above our goal will still go toward making FOP financially accessible - so please give! All of the money we raise will be spent on one of two things: direct financial aid or loaner gear to prevent families from having to purchases expensive equipment. For all of you who have donated, we are incredibly appreciative of your generosity and support. If you would like to help us by making a donation, please see the bottom of this column for more instructions. Whether or not you have the money to give to FOP, you may be interested to learn more about how FOP donations are allocated or to read some of the wonderful memories that come out of FOP trips. FOP's 2011 Annual Report, "The Fuzzy Cheesecake" contains contributions from first-years, leaders, leader alums, parents, and staff members from Harvard, past and present, and gives more insight into these topics and our hopes and dreams for the years to come.
