Why I Give

Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.

Dartmouth has opened doors through every avenue of my life - from my career to personal life. The world has become that much "smaller" because of my connections. My three kids now all want to go there. This year I'm choosing the research fund because my oldest daughter wants to go to Dartmouth and study science with the goal of either becoming a trauma surgeon or research scientist focused on biomedicine. She is very interested in research opportunities as part of her undergraduate experience.

I give because Dartmouth was definitely a road less travelled for a black woman of color who matriculated in the 70s. And it has made all the difference!

Dartmouth changed my life and gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had. I want to give back and help other students have this great experience.

I give to support women at Dartmouth.

What Dartmouth gave me—the friends, the experiences, the education, the relationships with professors—shaped my life so much for the good. Dartmouth provided access to a path which would not have been possible without her. For this I am and have been extremely grateful. It is the most natural thing to give in response to gratitude and appreciation.
