Ways to Give
There are many ways to make a gift that supports Dartmouth students and faculty, but almost all ways of donating fall under three broad categories: annual giving, which has an immediate impact; endowed giving and building projects, which is an investment for the long term; and planned giving, which typically refers to gifts that are part of an estate plan.
Annual Giving
Dartmouth directs annual gifts to its immediate priorities. At the undergraduate level, the Dartmouth College Fund and the Parents and Grandparents Fund provide nearly half of all undergraduate financial aid.
Professional School Annual Funds
Planned Giving
Planned gifts—also known as legacy gifts or estate giving—are long-term forms of supporting Dartmouth, such as including the university in your will.
Endowment & Building Projects
Gifts to the endowment and capital projects are powerful expressions of paying it forward for multiple generations.
Friends Support
Friends groups support clubs, programs, and activities across campus, giving every student the opportunity for a robust, well-rounded Dartmouth experience.
