Generosity to the Colgate Fund touches every aspect of the Colgate experience. Below are just a few ways that Colgate Fund supporters have helped to elevate the Colgate experience from excellent to extraordinary.
For more than 200 years, Colgate has achieved excellence, thanks to the support of alumni, families, and friends. In its Third Century, Colgate is elevating the expectation of what it means to provide a liberal arts education.
In April 2022, Colgate launched its Campaign for the Third Century, the most significant transformation in the history of the University, and the largest capital campaign ever launched by an American liberal arts institution. Gifts of any size to the Colgate Fund will help the University to realize its bold Third-Century ambitions and to ensure students from all backgrounds can access a Colgate education.
