Provide financial support for the Carleton community’s highest priorities

Your gift to Areas of Greatest Need supports Carleton’s top priorities throughout the year. By entrusting us with a gift in this unrestricted category, you empower the college to respond to issues and opportunities across campus—whatever they are and whenever they arise.

Examples of these gifts at work include:

  • Increased financial aid for students whose family financial situation has suddenly changed
  • Upgrades to make campus facilities energy efficient and environmentally friendly
  • Support for students to travel with faculty to a conference to present their shared research
  • Budget flexibility to respond promptly to unanticipated events or opportunities
