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.
