The world needs Earlhamites

Each year, tuition covers 48% of the actual cost of educating an Earlham student. Because of generous support by donors bridging that gap, Earlham continues to offer an outstanding education to prepare students to make a profound difference in the world.

If you are 70 ½ years of age or older and have a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can make an immediate impact at Earlham through an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift. An IRA Charitable Rollover Gift allows you to make a gift to the College, satisfy part or all of your annual required minimum distribution from your IRA, and exclude part or all of that distribution from your taxable gross income, thereby reducing your tax liability.

Making Your Gift is Easy

Take these steps before December 31 of this year:

  • Download and complete this fillable form. (PDF document)
  • Contact your IRA custodian
  • Ask that your distribution be a charitable rollover to Earlham College and request that your name and address be included in the transfer
Visit the Planned Giving website

Earlham welcomes gifts made in memory or honor of alumni, friends, or other individuals.

To make an Honorary or Memorial gift, follow the instructions in the Give Now section with the additional step to note the individual who is being honored or memorialized with the gift.

Earlham Day

Earlham College celebrates Earlham Day each spring. Our shared commitment to community brings Earlhamites together each year for this day of giving, and together is how we move forward.

Why we give

To widen the path to Earlham.

Finances shouldn’t be an obstacle to getting an Earlham degree. Over one-third of our students’ financial aid is funded through the generosity of donors.

To provide life-changing opportunities for global engagement.

Through donor-funded programs like the EPIC Advantage, we are able to guarantee life-changing opportunities to every Earlham student.

To make an impact in the world for good.

An Earlham education prepares students to change the world—but tuition doesn’t even cover half of the cost of that education. Our donors ensure Earlham can continue to provide a high-impact education for generations to come.
