Students Hang Out in Front of Chambers

Ways to Give

In giving to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, you join a long and distinguished list of alumni, parents and friends whose financial support helps to sustain our national reputation for leadership and achievement in liberal arts education.

The Fund for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

The Fund for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ supports every student, faculty member and program on campus. Tuition, endowment earnings and other revenue do not cover the full cost of a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ education. Current-use support through The Fund for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ meets this gap, and ensures the continued excellence and affordability of a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ education.

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ is a national leader in alumni participation. Our community of philanthropy distinguishes us within the higher education community, inspires investment from foundations, grants and individuals, and makes us better than we’d be otherwise.

Areas of Support

Recurring Gifts

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s recurring gift program allows alumni, families and friends to maximize their gifts to The Fund for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ in monthly increments. These automatic deductions from the donor's payment of choice (credit card, debit card or checking account) make an  impact on the lives of Wildcats in a budget-friendly, meaningful way.

  • Important: Recurring gifts provide the college with a critical, reliable source of income.
  • Convenient: Simply determine the amount and designation to make an impact all year long.
  • Secure: Automatic payment information is safe. Changes can be made at any time by contacting The Fund for ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ team.
  • Simple: Recurring gifts renew automatically and significantly reduce the number of solicitations sent from the college.

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Athletic Fund

The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Athletic Fund (DAF) has a primary purpose of generating revenue for the college’s Division I athletic program, its 21 teams, facilities, operating budget and scholarship funding through philanthropic support. Each year, DAF gifts provide incremental funding toward the athletic department’s budget in the areas of scholarships, recruiting, facility upgrades and team travel. 

Naming and Endowment Opportunities

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ would not be the institution it is today without the generous support of alumni, parents and friends. Moving forward, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ will continue to attract the best and brightest students and faculty through competitive scholarship offerings, innovative programming, leading curriculum development and unrivaled facilities.
