OUR FUNDRAISING GALA DINNERS
Since 2018, the ESCP Foundation has organised prestigious international galas, bringing its global community together around shared priorities: advancing academic excellence, promoting equal opportunities, and empowering students.
These exclusive events unite alumni, partners and friends of ESCP Business School from across the world, strengthening connections between campuses and fostering a truly international network.
As powerful moments of collective engagement, they support impactful initiatives, including the funding of scholarships and the development of programmes that drive excellence.
Part of the #RisingTogether campaign, which aims to raise €100 million by 2030 and aligned with the Bold & United strategic plan, these galas reflect both the strength of our community and our shared commitment to creating lasting impact.
