Investing in a Future You Believe In
Now more than ever, the world needs Mac graduates. The challenges of tomorrow require global citizens who can think deeply, problem solve creatively, bridge differences, and act boldly. Your gift to the Macalester Fund supports life-changing Macalester experiences to prepare today’s students for the future. Your gift to any of the Macalester Fund’s designations goes to work immediately, ensuring access to high-impact experiential learning and the space, support, and community for each student to thrive.
Support It All: Support everything you love about Macalester by giving to our most flexible designation, allowing us to allocate funding where it is most needed so our students can continue to spark change and create a brighter and more equitable world.
Parent and Family: Your family chose Macalester because you believe in what we stand for: providing a world-class liberal arts education rooted in academic academic distinction and a commitment to equity and justice, global citizenship, and community engagement. Your gift today helps your student—and generations of Scots to come—realize a brighter world.
Financial Aid: Facilitate Macalester’s commitment to meeting the full financial need of every admitted student including the new Macalester Tuition Promise—the latest step in the college’s ongoing work to make a Mac education more accessible by providing a full-tuition scholarship to every admitted US students whose family income is under $100,000.
Athletics: Demonstrate your support of the holistic student-athlete experience and the competitive development of Macalester’s athletic teams by ensuring immediate access to: developmental tools (technology, upgraded apparel and equipment), the best possible student-athlete support resources (nutrition, sport performance, sport psychology, and Scots LEAD); out-of-region competition, and safe, reliable, and comfortable team transportation.
Campus Life: Ensure that all Mac students are able to explore their passions and forge lifelong friendships by supporting the hundreds of student-led organizations as well as the staff-led student services such as the Center for Disability Resources, the International Student Programs, and Student Affairs. The Campus Life designation also allows students to develop their own pathways and pathways at Mac such as student-led communities furthering racial justice and sustainability at Mac.
