Annual Fund Gifts
Alumni Annual Fund
Annual Fund gifts impact nearly aspect of life at Carleton, from faculty salaries to financial aid, from buildings and grounds maintenance to start-up costs for new academic programs. Organized in 1988 by Carleton graduates, the Alumni Annual Fund now coordinates the activities of more than 700 volunteers who help engage alumni support of the College.
For the fifth year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has recognized Carleton as first among the nation’s liberal arts colleges in the percentage of alumni who give to their institutions. Carleton alumni are giving back in numbers almost without parallel in American higher education, demonstrating both the affection they hold for the College and their stellar leadership in ensuring that Carleton will continue providing a world-class liberal arts education far into the future.
Your gifts are essential to sustain the quality of Carleton's academic programs, support its faculty, and ensure adequate financial aid for all students.
Parents Fund
The Carleton Parents Fund is essential to sustaining the quality of the College's academic programs, supporting faculty, and ensuring adequate financial aid for all Carleton students.
Carleton parents have an enormous stake in the health and well-being of the college and they seem no less dedicated than the children they send here. In the 2005-06 fiscal year, gifts to the Parents Fund increased by 26 percent, with many of these gifts coming from current parents who are already making a significant commitment to fund their children's educations.
Carleton is grateful for the strong commitment parents make to ensure that their children receive the best education possible.
