Give to the Kalamazoo College Fund now!

The Kalamazoo College Fund (KCF) provides an opportunity for all alumni, parents and friends to make an immediate, profound difference in the lives of current Kalamazoo College students. Gifts to the KCF augment every aspect of the College from building and ground maintenance to faculty salaries and classroom materials. Annual support enables Kalamazoo College to attract the brightest students and faculty, and provide the most outstanding environment in which to live and work.

The Kalamazoo College Fund includes unrestricted gifts made from July 1 through June 30 – the College’s fiscal year. These unrestricted gifts give the College the flexibility to point the resources where they are needed most. You may direct your Kalamazoo College Fund gift to one of three broad areas of critical need:
Kalamazoo College’s greatest needs, scholarships, and faculty and teaching resources.

Why Give?

Support the value of a Kalamazoo College education
Gifts from alumni, parents and friends of Kalamazoo College support the aspects of Kalamazoo College that attract and retain excellent students and faculty: features like a strong, fully integrated international studies program, a student to faculty ratio of 12:1, numerous career exploration experiences with alumni and industry leaders, and opportunities for graduate level academic research and writing, as practiced in the Senior Individualized Project.

Your gift indicates the College has a strong and committed base of supporters. Many foundations and corporations consider the percentage of alumni participation in the Kalamazoo College Fund before determining their level of funding.


Bright, motivated students converge upon Kalamazoo College and they thrive amongst dedicated faculty in small classes. Armed with knowledge and professional preparation, students leave Kalamazoo College with a commitment to lifelong learning, a powerful tool that will serve them throughout their lives.

One student who benefits from your generosity can uniquely and profoundly affect the lives of thousands.

Support worthy students in their endeavors to attend Kalamazoo College
Tuition only covers 75 percent of what it actually costs to provide a Kalamazoo College education. This means that every student receives a “silent scholarship” contributed from the annual support of alumni, parents and friends of Kalamazoo College.

Over 98 percent of Kalamazoo College students receive some form of financial assistance each year. Your gift will support students in need.
