Philanthropy & Wheaton
Join other Wheaton supporters, and you can help our community continue to build a strong culture of philanthropy.
Our generous community members’ support is creating possibilities for the people, programs, and campus places that have come to define the Wheaton College experience. Although COVID-19 has altered our world and our community, one thing that will never change is Wheaton’s commitment to providing students with a world-class academic experience and the skills they need to succeed in their lives beyond Wheaton. There are many new challenges ahead of us. Still, our shared commitment to strengthening connections within the Wheaton community will help us as we support one another and support our students.
Together, we indeed are a community prepared to give new strength and vision to the value of Wheaton’s distinctive liberal arts education. Wheaton’s community of supporters represents a broad spectrum, including alumni, parents, faculty/staff, students, corporations & foundations, and friends. These constituents form a strong base of support that has helped Wheaton see tremendous growth. Learn more about how our collective community continues to be United in Philanthropy.
Through your time, talent, treasure, and ties, your investment can support something important to us all, Wheaton’s resilient and vibrant community.
Learn, Lead, Achieve—the Wheaton Way
Now, more than ever, our society needs innovative leaders in all walks of life who are capable of disciplined, creative thinking, leaders with compassion towards others, and strong values that will guide them. As we embark on a new year, Wheaton will continue to educate and prepare tomorrow’s leaders, and today, we need your support to help us fulfill this mission. With each and every gift, alumni, parents, and friends of Wheaton make, the college can continue to provide strong financial aid packages, world-class teaching, revitalized campus spaces, and so much more.
There are many ways to give to Wheaton, including annual support through the Wheaton Fund, gifts of securities, or planned gifts such as bequests or life-income gifts. The easiest way to support the college is by making a gift online through our secure online giving form.
