FAQs
What is the Connecticut College Fund?
The Connecticut College Fund is the sum of all annual gifts made to the College in a given fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). These gifts provide general, unrestricted support for the College’s current operations. CC Fund gifts help Conn offer the very best education environment for students. They support student organizations, financial aid, and faculty salaries. They also buy computers, books, and journals for the library; underwrite student art performances; provide athletics equipment for Camel teams; and supply classroom materials and lab equipment for student researchers.
Are Connecticut College Fund gifts tax-deductible?
Yes! Connecticut College is a 501c(3) charitable organization. The College’s Tax ID number is 06-0646587.
If I can only afford a small gift, is it worth it to the College?
Every gift is important, no matter the size. Your participation says you care about the College and want to see it thrive. Many corporations and foundations use alumni giving as a factor in deciding whether to make grants. You can support Connecticut College's efforts with these organizations by giving each year. Connecticut College Fund gifts can be as small as a few dollars or as large as $100,000 or more. Together, these supporters make a tremendous difference in the lives of our students. We value every gift, large and small.
Can I dedicate my Connecticut College Fund gift to someone?
Yes, you can make a gift in honor of (or in memory of) someone special to you.
Why does the College need my support every year?
Quite simply, because Connecticut College Fund dollars are spent every year. With each new fiscal year comes a new operating budget, and with each new operating budget comes the need for renewed support.
