Striving Together

That's a wrap on another phenomenal fiscal year, thanks to the always-generous Carleton community—including you! In June 2023 alone, 2000+ alumni, families, faculty/staff, and friends of the college came together to unlock $50,000 of matching funds and raise more than $1.2 million for current students.

For context, that's the equivalent of...

• Full year grant aid packages for 20 students, PLUS
• Funding for 3 summer Multicultural Alumni Network (MCAN) Fellows, PLUS
• 100 new books in the Libe, PLUS
• Funding for 2,500 free mental and physical health counseling appointments at Student Health and Counseling (SHAC)!

Thank you for Striving Together for a stronger Carleton this year. We look forward to sharing a recap of the year and our collective impact later this month!

A round of applause for the incredible Carleton donor community! We've ended June on a high note by surpassing $1 million AND exceeding 2,000 donors. 

Big thanks to all the AAF volunteers who made this outcome possible. We wouldn't have made a dent in our goals without your efforts. Thank you for amplifying the message of the Annual Fund.

Of course, these are only preliminary numbers. Look for updates throughout the next few weeks as we tabulate final stats!

We're reaching all kinds of fun milestones tonight. This month has seen an incredible showing of generous donors. Thank you all for your contributions!

Three cheers for our volunteers whose outreach and philanthropy education helped us raise $1 MILLION this month! Thank you to everyone who contributed gifts of all sizes! 

There are still a few hours on the clock, and we're only a few Carls away from 2,000 donors. Can we surpass that threshold, too?

Only THREE HOURS left on the clock for Fiscal Year 2023, and we're 98% of the way to $1 million. Let's head into the weekend on a high note by reaching our goal!

Summer is well underway, and hundreds of Carleton students are busy pursuing internships, fellowships, and research opportunities around the globe. Hear what Abby, Ayanna, Seven, Gabriel, Ellie, and Tiffany are learning this month on their project sites.

Alumni gifts help fund these experiential learning opportunities—and the academic departments that helped spark and nourish these interests for students. 

More than 1500 members of the Carleton community have contributed to the Annual Fund this month alone—incredible! Let's see how many more we can bring into the fold as we strive for $1 million!

Today, June 30, is the final day of Carleton's fiscal year! We're 90% of the way to our goal of $1 million to support current students. Let's rally to raise that final 10%!

The Carleton community successfully unlocked all $50,000 of our June matching funds! Thank you for spreading the word about this donor incentive.

Good news: every gift to the Annual Fund makes an impact for Carleton—even without extra matching funds. You can still be part of the collective impact!

Our matching funds are going QUICKLY! Only the next ~20 donors will unlock $100/each! Act soon to amplify your impact! 

Just two (full) days of June remain, and we're 80% to our campaign goal of $1 million. Let's close the gap! 

We've almost exhausted our $50,000 matching pool, but funds are still available for the next 45 donors! Encourage your peers to act now if they'd like to maximize their impact! 

Carleton recently announced promotions for these eight incredible faculty members. You can read about their scholarship, accomplishments, and courses in the Carleton News article!

Gifts to the Annual Fund not only support current students, but Carleton's beloved faculty members, too. Consider giving in honor of an educator who made a difference for you (or your student)!

We love seeing this photo—taken by Hala Shabaita ’24—our wall as part of the 2023 Carleton Calendar. It's a fitting image for our June 30 fiscal year end deadline, right? ⏰ All of the student photography featured in this year's calendar is available for download in the 2023 Calendar Photo Gallery!

The Carleton Calendar is just one of the ways we steward the college's Annual Fund donors. We're already working on the next one, and we can't wait to share it with FY23 donors this fall! 📅 

There are only 7 days left in the fiscal year and we're nearly 70% of the way to our $1 million goal! Let's keep up the momentum for Carleton as we head into the weekend.

Don't forget: there are still matching funds available! Don't miss this opportunity to amplify your impact for current students!

There's still time to multiply your impact for current Carleton students thanks to our generous matching donor. Gifts of every size make a difference—here are just a few examples!

More than 1,000 members of the Carleton community have supported current students this month alone—wow! 

We still have matching funds available for the next 367 donors. Make your gift today to unlock an extra $100!

A special announcement for the Carleton community! Starting today, a generous Carleton alum is matching every new gift to the Annual Fund with $100/each (up to $50,000)! Make your gift before the matching funds run out, and spread the word! 📣 📣 📣 

We've enjoyed greeting Carls of all generations as they check in for Reunion 2023. Welcome home, 3s & 8s!
