How We Are Funded
Harvard Magazine is a 501(c)3 affiliate of Harvard University with excellent access to University news and news sources—but as an editorially independent publication, the magazine is written, edited, and produced with readers’ interests foremost in mind. This differs in purpose from many alumni publications across the United States that primarily serve the needs of their University news and development departments.
As a hybrid business—producing two-thirds of its revenue and receiving a subsidy from Harvard University for the remainder—the magazine can maintain its editorial independence and use this freedom to enlarge the scope of its reporting and pursue the best possible journalism about this exceptional University.
