Annual Fund donors by category

Participate now with a gift to the Alumni Fund or Parents Fund! Your participation keeps you connected to campus and ensures that wonderful memories, experiences, and accomplishments continue for every future generation at CMC.

I became a Parents Fund volunteer because I care deeply about my child and his fellow students’ experiences at CMC. Tuition just doesn’t cover all of the enriching programs that are offered. Parent participation helps provide life-changing experiences like study abroad. Growing up bi-culturally overseas, I feel that being exposed to other cultures and

perspectives promotes understanding, kindness, tolerance, and respect

for all people.

As alumni, we have a responsibility to support current and future CMC students. We have been able to thrive as graduates due to the rich array of programs, professors, and resources given to us while at CMC — and it’s so important to help ensure new generations of CMCers are able to have the same great experiences that were provided to us.

THIS IS THE POWER OF PARTICIPATION.

Individual gifts come in a variety of sizes.

Collectively, these gifts add up to create a significant impact.

Gifts to the Alumni Fund and Parents Fund have been vital to Claremont McKenna College’s growth

into a top, nationally ranked college.

Parents: By donating, you can assure that your student, and students to come, will receive a world-class education.

Faculty, staff and other friends of the College: Your gift demonstrates that an institution that promotes

responsible leadership is worthy of investment.

Alumni: Your participation ensures that the pivotal experiences you enjoyed as students will be available for generations to come.
