Parent & Family Giving

From their first semester onward, students jump into life at Mac and become active, engaged, intellectually curious members of our community. Through their generosity, parents and families sustain and strengthen Macalester’s life-changing experiences to prepare today’s students for the future.

Parent and Family Fund

The Parent and Family Fund, part of the Macalester Fund, allows families to contribute to a special fund that supports innovation and student excellence at Macalester while also allowing the college to direct unrestricted resources to where they are most needed.
