Philanthropy & Wheaton

Philanthropy from our community is creating possibility for the people, programs, and campus places that have come to define the Wheaton College experience. Through your time, talent, treasure, and ties, your investment can support something important to us all, Wheaton’s vibrant community.
Wheaton’s community of supporters represent a wide spectrum of alumni, parents and family, faculty and staff, students, and corporations and foundations. These constituents form a strong base of support that has helped Wheaton see growth in its student body (a ten percent increase since 2014), innovation in our curriculum and academic programs, and significant new and ongoing investment in our campus living and learning spaces (see Innovation & Impact: 2019 President’s Report).
Together, we indeed are a community prepared to give new strength and vision to the value of Wheaton’s distinctive liberal arts education.
