You can make a difference at Carleton with a gift of any size and type, including cash gifts, matching gifts, securities, capital and planned gifts, or gifts in honor of someone special. Our Development Office staff will be happy to talk with you about the best way to make a gift to the College that honors your unique wishes.

Annual Fund Gifts

Every aspect of Carleton life is touched by gifts to the Annual Fund, Parents Fund, and Friends Fund. All of the College's day-to-day needs—from student financial aid to faculty and staff salaries to the latest computer technology and facilities—depend on the generosity of Annual Fund gifts. They help Carleton transform today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders with the analytical skills, knowledge, and skills they need to change the world. Learn more about these Annual Fund gifts.

Planned Gifts

Planned giving allows you to make charitable gifts to Carleton while you continue to meet your current income needs and take advantage of current tax incentives. Planned gifts include will provisions (bequests), gifts of retirement assets, stock or mutual funds, real estate or life insurance, and gifts that create income. Learn more about planned gifts to Carleton.

Capital Gifts and Naming Opportunities

Capital gifts provide Carleton students and faculty with lasting resources. They help establish endowments for student, academic, and library resource needs, ensure future unrestricted income, and provide for the construction and renovation of campus buildings. Larger gifts can also be directed toward naming opportunities such as scholarships, professorships, and library funds.

Reunion Gifts

Each year, Carleton's 50th and 25th reunion classes present class gifts to the College in honor of these important milestones. This is a wonderful opportunity for classmates to join together and expand their support of the College by making a special commitment that will benefit Carleton far into the future. Learn more about class reunion gifts.

Memorial Gifts

You can commemorate the life of a special person through gifts in honor or in memory. These gifts can be designated through the Annual Fund, physical memorials on campus, and endowed funds, including scholarships, library funds, professorships, and other special funds.

Corporate and Foundation Gifts

In addition to gifts from individuals, Carleton also receives generous support from foundations, corporations, and other organizations that help the College maintain its strong commitment to the liberal arts. Learn about the work of Carleton's Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
