Impact Funds

Academic & Faculty Support
Generosity through the fund for Academic & Faculty Support maintains the academic excellence and high standards that continue to be the cornerstone of a Wheaton education. Your contribution will help support the needs of academic departments, Madeleine Clark Wallace Library, faculty development, and students’ journey while they chart their way through Wheaton’s Compass Curriculum.

Arts & Creative Expression
Creative expression is a hallmark of Wheaton. You can support theater, dance, the visual arts, music and student-curated exhibitions.

Campus Preservation & Enhancements
Your support will preserve and restore public spaces that inspire creativity and fuel collaboration among all members of our community.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Your investment supports workshops, training, research and other campus initiatives to ensure our community is open-minded, empathetic and welcoming so all students feel a strong sense of belonging.

Experiential Learning & High Impact Experiences
Wheaton has a long-standing commitment to providing a liberal arts education that includes learning outside of the classroom. This includes access to fully funded internships and is made possible in large part by Wheaton Fund donors.

Lyons Athletic Club
Donors support Wheaton’s Athletic Department, including 23 intercollegiate sports and the college’s on-campus recreation programs. You directly enhance athletic and recreational facilities for all students, aid student-athlete recruitment and retention, supplement equipment needs and cover team travel.

Public Health & Service
Public health students at Wheaton learn how to save, extend and improve lives. The fund for Public Health & Service makes it possible for Wheaton to enhance offerings to students interested in public health and service-related fields. Your support ensures our future nurses and frontline healthcare workers have access to the resources, training, coursework and experiences needed to tackle healthcare inequities locally and globally.

Scholarship & Financial Aid
As a Wheaton Fund Scholarship donor, you enable the College to offer 99% of students need-based financial aid, removing financial barriers that may hinder access to Wheaton. Each year, the demand for scholarship aid outpaces what Wheaton can provide to meet each student’s needs.

Science, Technology & Innovation
Wheaton Fund donors support state-of-the-art technology and enhance targeted areas of study and programming that prepares students for successful careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines.

Student Support & Success
You offer enrichment opportunities that promote an active living and learning community by providing resources for learning and growth beyond the classroom and empower students to pursue their passions.
