Support EGC's Work
Join us in the effort to provide a rich resource base for the community at Yale engaged in research and teaching on economic development and trade.
Creating opportunity, advancing development
EGC’s mission is to enable the Yale development economics community to maximize its contributions and impact. EGC has demonstrated how relatively small strategically targeted investments can have high yields for faculty research, student learning and policy engagement. We continually seek to identify and build linkages with like-minded entities across the University to further the impact of these investments. We have been working to identify where the unique strengths of Yale faculty have the potential to push the frontiers of scholarship and understanding in international economic development through investing in something bigger. We are continually expanding our offering of hands-on learning opportunities for students, who are the leaders of the next generation. Through all these efforts, we aim to enable the talents of Yale’s faculty and students to be best harnessed to help solve some of the most pressing global challenges in international development.
Opportunities
The EGC Research–to–Policy Incubation Fund enables EGC faculty researchers to take advantage of high–potential, time–sensitive policy–focused research opportunities alongside opening many ways to directly involve Yale students, junior researchers, and international collaborators in research.
A collaboration between Yale Inclusion Economics, Yale Economic Growth Center and the network that makes our work possible.
Beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, the IDE Master's program began offering scholarships to promising students from sub-Saharan Africa to make the program more accessible.

Endowed Gifts
Endowed gifts provide a permanent, secure annual income stream for designated programs. These gifts are invested by the university, and the income from the gift is directed toward an enduring purpose by the donor. Only the income from the principal is expended so the gift continues in perpetuity. Many people choose to make this generous gift to create a legacy in honor of a loved one.
