Support the Carleton Parents Fund
Every day at Carleton, our students are supported by faculty mentors, coaches, classmates, staff, and countless opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Behind all of those transformative experiences is a dedicated community of families whose generosity helps make the Carleton experience possible.
This year, the Carleton family is working toward an important fiscal year-end milestone: raising $250,000 for the Parents Fund by June 30th.
What Your Gift Supports
Gifts to the Parents Fund provide flexible support that can be put to work immediately where students and the College need it most. Your generosity directly enhances the environment where your student learns and grows, including:
- Financial Aid: Keeping a Carleton education accessible for talented students.
- Campus Life: Supporting student organizations, varsity athletics, and club sports.
- Health & Wellness: Providing critical mental health resources and wellness programming.
- Career Exploration: Funding internships, networking opportunities, and career counseling.
No matter the size of your gift, your participation makes a tangible difference for the entire campus community. Please help us reach our $250K goal before the fiscal year ends on June 30th!
On Saturday, Carleton celebrated its 152nd Commencement, sending 503 brilliant, resilient Carls out into the world. It was a beautiful day on the Bald Spot highlighting the tight-knit community that defines the Carleton experience.
Milestones like this are made possible by the collective support of the entire Carleton community. Thank you to the incredible families, faculty, staff and alumni who championed the Class of 2026 along the way - we can’t wait to see what they do next!

On Wednesday evening, members of the Class of 2026 gathered under the Big Tent for Senior Banquet—the first official celebration of their upcoming graduation.
The evening brought classmates together to share a meal, reflect on their favorite Carleton memories, and look ahead to the future. Between conversations with lifelong friends, remarks from alumni, and photos with the class banner, it was a beautiful marker of how much your students have grown during their time in Northfield.
Senior Banquet is a proud reminder that graduation is just the beginning. Your children are stepping into a vibrant, lifelong community of Carls that spans generations and reaches around the world.
As we prepare to celebrate the Class of 2026 this weekend, your support of the Parents Fund helps ensure that future students can build the same deep friendships, traditions, and meaningful experiences that made Carleton so special for your own child.Make your gift today and help us finish strong for Carleton.
