Earlham Day is our annual celebration of all things Earlham! Now in its 12th year, this special day on April 22 brings our community together to support and uplift both current and future generations of Earlham students.
Earlham Day is about more than honoring tradition—it’s about investing in what comes next. Your gift directly impacts students by funding scholarships, enhancing academic programs, and supporting the meaningful experiences that define an Earlham education.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure Earlham remains a place where curiosity thrives, leaders emerge, and lifelong connections are made. And on Earlham Day, your generosity goes even further—each donor helps unlock an additional $200 for the Earlham Fund!
Spread the word, make your gift, and join the entire Earlham community in making history this Earlham Day. Together, we can achieve something truly extraordinary.
