What is the Senior Class Gift?

The Senior Class Gift is a collective fundraising effort, calling on each member of the Class of 2026 to make a donation to Trinity. To contribute to the gift, a monetary contribution is made to the College. 

The amount is up to you (though there are some perks at certain levels!) and you can choose how to direct your gift (the Trinity College Fund, financial aid, a favorite team, or your major are a few popular options).The Trinity College Fund is a budgeted income source for the College and is used to provide current use income to support operating expenses. The Senior Class Gift supports this fund.

Why should I give to the Senior Class Gift Campaign?

The Trinity College Fund supports everyday components that make up the College, from faculty salaries and student scholarships to emergency funds and financial aid. The things that make Trinity so special are typically funded by the Trinity College Fund. Your Trinity degree will grow stronger as your philanthropy helps the College grow stronger. 

How much should I give?

As much as you want—any size gift counts! What is important is to understand what that gift means. By supporting the Trinity College Fund through the Senior Class Gift Campaign you are giving back to a community that has made these past four years possible. This gift should not end your senior year. Your contribution helps support both current and future Trinity College students.

How do I make my gift?
