Endowed funds

Supporting Earlham’s endowment is an act of belief – belief in the future of the College.  Belief that the world needs Earlham College and the students who graduate from here are going to go out and change the world for good.  By supporting the Earlham Endowment, you are joining the long legacy of donors who have contributed to our sustainability and mission.

Thanks to generations of committed friends and donors, Earlham College today has a notably strong endowment—especially when compared with other small liberal arts colleges. A well-managed endowment ensures the long-term stability and financial security for Earlham.  All of Earlham’s endowed funds are invested and managed as part of the Earlham Endowment.  This means that the principal gift is allowed to grow and only a portion of the income is spent annually.

The minimum to create an endowed fund is $50,000, which generates approximately $2,500 a year to support the donor’s interest.  The larger the fund, the more that will be available.  Each year you will receive a report on how your fund has been used so you can see the impact and how your gift is making a real difference in the lives of Earlham students.

For Good: The Campaign for Earlham College

The largest and most successful campaign in Earlham’s history thanks to you. $118 million raised in total for good!

Scholarships

Establishing a named, endowed scholarship provides a permanent and personal way for you to make a difference in the life of Earlham students. Donors would work with the College to establish award guidelines. Criteria may reflect a special area of interest, academic discipline, geographic region, academic merit or financial need.  The Office of Financial Aid administers all scholarships and donors receive information annually about scholarship recipients.

Earlham College determines appropriate financial aid for each student without regard to students’ race, ethnicity, sex, or other protected categories. Awards are determined on the basis of demonstrated financial need and/or academic merit alone. After awards are made, scholarships are assigned names and funded in honor of our donors.
