The Campaign For Wharton

Donor Profile: Young Alumni Giving


Damian M. Dalla-Longa W'06
"I feel very fortunate to have had such a great undergraduate experience at Wharton, and I feel an obligation to reciprocate and give something back to the School," says Damian M. Dalla-Longa, W'06. After accepting a prime job offer with Bain Capital in Boston, Damian pledged his signing bonus to the School before he even had a diploma in his hands. His pledge, made as an unrestricted contribution to The Wharton Fund, made Damian the youngest member of the Young Franklin Society and a Founder in the Benjamin Franklin Society.

"More undergraduates should consider doing this," says Damian, now with Greenwich, CT-based Silver Point Capital. "Why wait?"
