Why Give

Your annual gift through the DCF will help advance the Dartmouth Experience, enabling deserving students to attend this great institution, and accomplished faculty to mentor them.

Every gift matters:

checkboxEvery gift helps the College raise money.

Corporations and foundations, which provide millions of dollars in support to Dartmouth, base their awards more on alumni participation than on total dollars raised. Every alumni gift—including yours—has a multiplier effect.

checkboxEvery gift enables the College to save money.

Bond rating agencies factor-in alumni participation when determining the interest rate Dartmouth will pay when it borrows money. Every alumni gift—including yours—means less money paid out.

checkboxEvery gift supports the College's national ranking.

Publications such as US News and World Report consider Dartmouth's historically high rates of participation when affirming its rank. Every alumni gift—including yours—sustains Dartmouth's reputation for excellence.

checkboxParticipation is the common thread.

By showing through your annual gift that Dartmouth matters to you, you make Dartmouth matter to others.
