Special Funds
Support of the College: As an independent, privately endowed institution, Carleton's development has been made possible by the support of interested individuals, foundations, and corporations.

Most of the balance comes from gifts for current purposes and from income earned by the College's endowment, which was itself provided by gifts.

The minimum amount currently designated for endowing and administering a new scholarship fund is $100,000.
