About

Join hundreds of alumni, family, and friends on Giving Day to support Beloit College.

Since 1846, Beloit College’s bold spirit and sense of community has only strengthened. Our history is made up of extraordinary people and ideas that continue to flourish. Beloiters think unconventionally and with empathy about real challenges. When you make a gift on April 26, you help honor Beloit’s bold legacy and provide a foundation for its bright future.

Beloit has always been and will always be student-centered, challenging students to connect what they learn in the classroom with real-world experiences. Our inventiveness and sense of community has made a significant impact. Beloiters make a difference in the world.

Your support this Giving Day helps to provide a foundation for the next generation of Beloiters, who will also share the gifts that only a Beloit College education can provide. We have a remarkable history and we are headed towards a brilliant, bright future. 

  • Make a gift to help us reach our goal of 1,000 donors. You can choose to make a one-time gift, or set up a recurring gift to give automatically each month. Gifts of all sizes make an impact for our current and future students.
  • Inspire others by sharing why you give to Beloit and posting words of encouragement and memories of your time at Beloit on social media using #BeloitCollege#GivingDay, and #GivetoBeloit. You can also email your memories (and photos!) to us at alumni@beloit.edu.
  • Create a matching gift or challenge to encourage other Beloiters to give.
  • Check back throughout the day for live updates and watch your gifts grow.

Call or email Frances Klaverkamp at 800-331-4943 or alumni@beloit.edu.
For gift questions please email gift@beloit.edu.

Thank you for your support!
