The Campaign for Connecticut College
Connecticut College students have always challenged assumptions to create new possibilities. Defy Boundaries celebrates our community’s commitment to take the path less traveled, to opt for the challenging problem rather than the easy solution, to embrace the promise of change rather than settle for the comfort of the status quo. Together we will bring this same courage and conviction to meet any challenge head on and create new possibilities while breaking down barriers.
Whether you choose to support the Connecticut College Fund, give to a capital project, create a new endowed fund or share your bequest intention to the College - or all of these options! - your commitment counts as part of the Defy Boundaries Campaign. We ask each and every person who loves Connecticut College to participate in this community-wide effort with the most generous commitment you can.
Connecticut College Fund
Each year, the Connecticut College Fund raises critical resources from thousands of alumni, parents and friends to fund the College’s highest priorities. The Connecticut College Fund directly benefits academics; scholarships and financial aid; athletics; arts; student life; sustainability; equity and inclusion programs; and every other aspect of life at the College. Gifts have an immediate impact and provide critical, current-use support.
Now, when you participate with a gift to Connecticut College, you are building the financial strength that augments and impacts the lives of every student on campus.
