Contributions from alumni provided the resources and scholarships that prepared you to be a leader. Today’s K students are undergoing that same preparation. As an alum, you can show your appreciation by paying it  forward with a leadership gift.

Lead by Example

The 1833 Society for Young Alumni enables 2006-2022 graduates to become leaders in philanthropy through the tiered giving structure detailed below.

Please note: the monthly gift amounts above reflect 12 payments (July 2021-June 2022); recognition as a 1833 Society for Young Alumni donor will be based on total giving for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Engagement Opportunities

Your leadership gift to the Kalamazoo College Fund makes it possible for today’s students to appreciate the K experience. In return, as a Young Alumni 1833 Society donor, you will receive:

• Invitations to special events during the academic year, including:
  • A wine and cheese reception with President Jorge G. Gonzalez during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend on October 16, 2021.
