Why I Give

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

Education is the most important word in our language, in any language. It’s how we create leaders, grow our economy, and learn about other people, which nurtures peace. Education is the key to a better world.

Increasingly, America is divided by class and economic disparity. If I can help make Dartmouth more affordable for just one deserving student by supporting the Dartmouth College Fund, to me that's so important.

Dartmouth changed my life, opened up my world, introduced me to some of my best friends. I give so that other students can experience even a fraction of that magic, no matter where or what they came from.

I give because Dartmouth has given so much to me. I received financial aid all throughout college and want Dartmouth to continue to provide students with the opportunities to take full advantage of the Dartmouth experience.

I was skimming an article in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine about planned giving when I realized that adding Dartmouth to my will made perfect sense. Dartmouth will surely outlive me and when it does, I want my impact to live on through all the ways my bequest touches future students.
