About

Fuel Dreams, Drive Innovation 

Help us build Tufts' Rising Entrepreneurs!

Embark on a transformative journey with the Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts. We build entrepreneurial leaders by developing an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset in our students, helping them take ideas to action and realizing their impact.

Our co-curricular programs and grants are 100% gift-funded from generous supporters like you. This #TuftsGivingTuesday, our spotlight is on the Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund (EIF). The EIF provides grants of up to $1,000 alongside 1-on-1 coaching. This program removes hesitation and helps students take the first step, leveling the playing field for all aspiring entrepreneurs.

Just ask Kalembwe, who reflected, "The Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund breathed new life into my entrepreneurial aspirations," or Sam, who gleaned life-changing industry connections: “This trip allowed me to participate in events, network with people in my industry, meet my mentors in person, and much more.“ 

Your support on #TuftsGivingTuesday helps us expand our quest to offer equitable access to our innovative programming to all Tufts students, especially those who may not initially think they are entrepreneurial. We know, however, that they will come to embrace their own creativity and innovative spirit—and become the next generation of Tufts entrepreneurs.

Looking to give via stock, wire transfer, or donor advised fund but still want to have it count for #TuftsGivingTuesday? We can make that happen! Fill out this form and someone from the #TuftsGivingTuesday team will be in touch.
