Supporting Dartmouth

Join a Tradition of Giving

From first-year trips to senior seminars, from foreign study to impassioned debate on an old college green, Dartmouth students are engaged in a tradition of learning relevant to their time.

For more than fifty years, parents and grandparents have raised unrestricted gifts to support this transformative experience for our students. You can become a part of this tradition by making a commitment to the Parents and Grandparents Fund this year. Your gifts help bring the Dartmouth Experience alive.

Your Investment at Work

Tuition is a tremendous investment. Yet the full cost of educating each Dartmouth student is greater still. The Parents and Grandparents Fund helps bridge the tuition gap by supporting the College's annual operation budget, touching key aspects of the Dartmouth Experience. See the impact of your gift.

Recognition Programs

The College recognizes and celebrates all families for their gifts. We invite you to join our recognition programs by participating at the highest level you can.

Allocate Your Gift

Through the Fund, you can give to the general areas that your family values most.

1. The College's Highest Priorities

Give Dartmouth the flexibility to meet its most pressing needs and enhance student services.
