Wheaton Fund

Your connection to Wheaton is unique, and so is your opportunity to give back. Through the Wheaton Fund, our annual giving program, you can make a meaningful contribution that reflects your personal ties to the college, whether you’re an alum, parent, student or friend of the college.

While endowment funds focus on long-term stability, your annual gift addresses immediate needs and provides opportunities that have a direct impact on students’ experiences. You can help fund areas that matter most to you such as scholarships, academic programs, athletics, arts, campus enhancements, or student retention. Your support ensures that current and future generations of students continue to discover, belong and thrive at Wheaton.

Impact Funds

As a member of the Wheaton community, you can attest to the transformative power of a liberal arts education and the lasting bonds formed. Impact Funds allow you to support the initiatives and programs that resonate with you most.

You can direct your gift toward scholarships, academics, faculty development, research, experiential learning, arts, athletics, sciences and technology, campus preservation and enhancements, or other areas of interest. By designating your gift, you support the college’s future in a way that aligns with your values, making your contribution more personal and purposeful.

Senior Class Gift

The Senior Class Gift is a long-standing tradition that dates back to the early 1900s. This signifies your transition from student to member of our Alumni Association and allows future students to make their mark at Wheaton. The goal is for you and your classmates to donate the amount equivalent to your class year. Collectively, your small gifts will make a big impact. You can also choose where to direct the funds to give back to an area that matters to you most—whether it be scholarships, academic programs, an athletic team, a club, or campus organizations.
