About

Carleton needs 1,866 donors on Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3) to unlock $75,000 in matching funds for an all-or-nothing challenge. Challenge funds will be at risk — if we don't reach the donor goal, the funds will not be earned.

Individuals/couples who make Annual Fund gifts of ANY size will count toward the donor goal.

Qualifying gift types:

  • All online one-time gifts (credit card, mobile wallet, ACH transfer, etc.);
  • Newly-established recurring gifts (installments of previously-established recurring gifts that process on December 3 are NOT eligible);
  • Gifts received by mail on December 3;
  • Donors who inform the Annual Fund of gifts by stock/securities/Donor Advised Funds on/before December 3.

Celebrating a new Giving Tuesday record!

After tabulating our results, we're elated to celebrate Carleton's incredible Giving Tuesday outcome. A record-setting 1,733 community members generously gave back on this day of gratitude. Thank you for being among our community of donors!

Your gifts on Giving Tuesday demonstrate our community's support for current and future Carls. Contributions from this day alone could collectively provide the equivalent of...

  • 6 full-year grant aid packages,
  • 10 curricular innovation grants,
  • 1,500 appointments at Student Health & Counseling,
  • 20 funded internships, AND
  • 30 Convo speakers!


Thank you for being Behind Every Carl on this day of giving! 💛 💙

Thank you to our entire community for coming together to support Carleton today. We heard so many moving stories about the faculty, staff, and peers who supported your Carleton experiences. Plus, we set a new Giving Tuesday record and once again demonstrated the generosity of the Carleton network. 

Lastly, a big thank you to the tireless volunteers who made today possible. We'll share final numbers in the coming days, but for now, please take some time to celebrate your hard work!

We've surpassed the 1600 donor mark—and our Giving Tuesday donor record from 2022! 🎉  This is officially a record-breaking campaign BUT our matching funds are still on the line!

There's still time on the clock. What can we accomplish before midnight?

Faculty, staff, alumni, and families aren't the only folks Behind Every Carl. Current students support one another in a variety of ways, formally and informally. 

Give back to honor the friends, roommates, teammates, and classmates who made your time (or your student's time) at Carleton meaningful!

We're three-fourths of the way to our goal—don't lose momentum now! Only 8 more donors per class to reach 1,866!

We're two-thirds of the way to our donor goal. With just 4 hours left of Giving Tuesday, we need all hands on deck to reach 1866. Spread the word!

We're over halfway to our goal with 6 hours on the clock. Can we close the gap and reach 1,866 before midnight?

Being Behind Every Carl means supporting Carleton's beloved faculty and educators, too. The Annual Fund provides resources to help attract and retain excellent professors, coaches, and instructors of all kinds. 

Your gifts today not only support current students, but also the educators who make Carleton transformational.

What can our matching pool of $75,000 support on campus? The short answer is — lots! Here are just a few examples. Let's work together to earn these at-risk funds!

The donor number is steadily climbing, but there are only 9 hours left on the Giving Tuesday clock. Keep spreading the word!

We're a third of the way to our goal of 1,866. The halfway point is within sight. Keep up the great work!

Everyone has a Behind Every Carl story. Here's one from Jonathan Capehart '89!

We're loving the momentum this Giving Tuesday. We've already exceeded 400 donors and it's not even 11am CT. Keep spreading the word — we have a ways to go before 1,866!

What does it mean to be Behind Every Carl? It means the Carleton community supports, empowers, and resources each student. One way to provide opportunities for current Carls is through philanthropy.

The Annual Fund makes all of the academic, residential, and extracurricular resources at Carleton possible. Our gifts on Giving Tuesday demonstrate that we are, indeed, behind current students and their learning!

More than 200 members of the Carleton community have made their Giving Tuesday gift early — that's a record by a long shot. Thank you for giving us a head start toward our ambitious goal of 1,866!

561 days ago by Abigail Tupa

The Carleton community is Behind Every Carl this Giving Tuesday. We're working toward our biggest goal yet — 1,866 donors in 24 hours. When we meet our goal, we'll unlock $75,000 in at-risk matching funds. If we don't reach 1,866 donors, we won't unlock the funds!
