President’s Circle
The President’s Circle is Earlham’s leadership donor society for those who give $1,500 or more annually, allowing students of all backgrounds to pursue lives for good.
Each year, President’s Circle members contribute two-thirds of all gifts received by the Earlham Fund, supporting the immediate and ongoing needs of the College and empowering students for their future.

You can make an impact
For our students and the ever-changing world around them, an Earlham education has never been so relevant, important or needed. When members of the President’s Circle decide to invest in Earlham students, they are investing in:
- An education that brings intentional global influences to the forefront, allowing students to develop the framework to understand life’s complexities from a variety of perspectives.
- A system in which expert faculty and staff help students find their true potential and forge a path toward a rewarding life and a future that leaves the world around them a better place.
- The power of a community built on purpose; pushing for active change based on our Principles and Practices
- Rigorous academics that challenge and support students in equal measure.

A more personal connection
At the core of Earlham is a dedication to developing impactful and meaningful relationships, including with our most generous supporters. That’s why each President’s Circle member has a personal liaison dedicated to fostering your relationship with Earlham.

Annual scholarships
