ASSISTING CLUB EMPLOYEES (ACE) FUND The global COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Harvard Club to temporarily close, and this has presented significant challenges for some of our employees. In recent weeks, a number of our members have asked how they can help the most vulnerable among our staff.

To offer support to our employees, we have created the Harvard Club with A Heart: Assisting Club Employees (ACE) Fund. The ACE Fund will help provide our employees with assistance during this challenging time when operations have been suspended. Every member of our Board of Governors and the senior management staff is supporting this fund. As of December 1, 2020, the ACE Fund has received $243,047 in donations.
