The Wheaton Fund is the college's annual giving program--and one of the most powerful ways that you can have an impact on the student experience. Growing the Wheaton Fund is a key initiative of Go Beyond: Campaign for Wheaton.

Why is annual giving so important? All contributions go straight to work for students, contributing to every aspect of college life.

Here's what each dollar of your Wheaton Fund gift supports:

• 50 cents supports academic programs and campus life
• 25 cents provides vital financial aid
• 13 cents funds college operations
• 12 cents maintains campus buildings and grounds

Gifts to the Wheaton Fund range from a few dollars to hundreds of thousands, but together, Wheaton's alumnae/i, parents and friends contribute more than $4 million each academic year.
