The Earlham Fund

Your contributions to the Earlham Fund allow the College to apply your gift immediately to the areas of greatest need. They enable us to:

• Immediately impact students through support of faculty projects and initiatives
• Bridge the gap between annual tuition and the actual costs of providing a top liberal arts education

Impact of Earlham Fund

Endowed Gifts

An endowed gift is an investment in the future strength and success of Earlham — a gift that the College holds in perpetuity. The goal is to ensure that the principal maintains its value over time. Thus, a donor who creates an endowed gift today can be confident that it will grow and continue to support Earlham in the years to come.

Endowed gifts allow friends to:

• Give generously while uniquely expressing causes or priorities that matter most
• Ensure financial security for future generations of Earlhamites

Naming Opportunities

Scholarships

Earlham strives to make its high-quality education accessible to students regardless of their present family income. Earlham provides two types of scholarship opportunities:

• Annual scholarship: A minimum gift of $2,500 for a deserving student in a single year
  
  
• Endowed scholarship: A minimum gift of $50,000 where the fund's income is awarded to a student, but the principal gift is never spent

Bequests & Planned Gifts

Planned giving or bequests are another valuable way to make a gift Earlham. Including the college in your will, as a designation of life insurance or retirement plans, or through a life income arrangement such as a gift annuity or trust can have a lasting impact on Earlham’s future while often simultaneously meeting personal financial goals and objectives.

Senior Gift

Each year the senior class presents the College with a special gift. In years' past such gifts have funded renewable energy projects, student/faculty collaborative research, scholarships and emergency funds. These contributions mark the start of a personal connection and commitment to Earlham, and become a lifelong symbol of pride and tradition.
