Keeping the 'Dogs on the pitch.
Why give?
-
Make A Difference
Your gift keeps dues low and doors open — no graduate student at Yale is ever turned away from this team for financial reasons.
-
Support A Cause You Love
Rugby gave you some of your best memories at Yale. Give back to the club that gave you the pitch, the teammates, and the traditions.
-
Be Part of A Solution
Graduate rugby doesn't fund itself. Your contribution covers tournament fees, equipment, and travel so the next generation can compete at the highest level.
-
Win Swag for Your Office
Top donors unlock exclusive YGRFC gear — custom jerseys, branded rugby balls, and kit bags — the kind of conversation starters that belong on a shelf, not in a drawer.
-
Reconnect With Your Team
Giving puts you back on the roster in the only way that matters after graduation. Donors get early access to alumni events, match invites, and updates from the club you helped build.
-
Inspire the Next Generation
Show current players what this club can become. Your generosity sets the standard — and the tone — for what YGRFC means beyond Yale.
What Your Support Means to Us
“YGRFC isn't just a rugby club , it's one of the few places at Yale where a first-year med student and a third-year law student end up in a scrum together and leave as lifelong friends.
That community doesn't sustain itself.
Your support is what makes it possible, year after year”
— William Roberts, MD
YGRFC President, Yale College & MD Fellow
“The Women+ side has grown because people believed in us before we had the results to show for it.
Donors make that belief tangible.
When we step onto the pitch knowing the club is backed, we play like it, and we win like it."
— Christina Oh
Womens+ Captain, Yale Masters of Arts
“Every donation we receive means one more teammate who doesn't have to choose between joining the club and making rent.
This team runs on grit and generosity in equal measure, your support keeps both alive.”
— Aaron Baker
Mens Captain, Yale PhD
