Directing Your Trinity College Fund Gift
When you give through the Trinity College Fund, you engage directly with the College, you connect yourself to this historic campus, and you transform the lives of today’s students. You are an essential partner, supporting the professor who teaches critical thinking, the coach who shows student athletes how to be leaders, and the mentor who sets students on their professional path.
Trinity College Fund Priorities
Support Trinity’s Greatest Need
Unrestricted support
Flexible, immediate, and far-reaching, your unrestricted gift allows Trinity to direct your support to meet the greatest current needs on campus, touching every facet of the Trinity experience and every student.
Invest in Financial Aid
Financial aid and scholarships
Trinity is dedicated to meeting the full, calculated financial need of all financial aid applicants we admit, and each year, we commit our own funds to financial aid. Invest in financial aid to allow students to focus on making the most of their Trinity experience.
Advance Academic Excellence
Outstanding faculty, academic programs, and research opportunities
At Trinity, the classes are small and the teachers know each student by name. Undergraduates take part in cutting-edge research and publish their findings. The College offers hundreds of academic internships, four Trinity-administered study-away programs, and more than 91 approved external study-away programs. Your gift advances academic excellence across 41 majors—you can even make your gift in honor of or in memory of a professor who touched your life.
Support Student Life
Student activities, clubs and organizations, diversity, etc.
The Trinity experience extends beyond the classroom. Student government, clubs, cultural organizations, concerts, lectures, movies, community service, and more shape a student’s time as a Bantam. When you support vibrant student life, you provide a balance to Trinity’s rigorous academics.
Champion Student-Athletes
Varsity, club, and intramural teams; Ferris Athletic Center; playing fields; and wellness programs
More than 55 percent of Trinity students participate in a varsity or club sport. When you support athletics, you touch the athletes and the students cheering them on from the sidelines. Trinity’s NESCAC athletes are a source of pride for students, alumni, parents, and friends. Ferris Athletic Center is open to all, providing essential wellness and fitness resources. You can direct your gift to support a specific team or Trinity Athletics as a whole. Go Bants!
Enhance Technology and Learning
Raether Library and Information Technology Center
Trinity is proud to have one of the largest college libraries in New England, the Raether Library and Information Technology Center, with close to 1 million volumes on campus; unlimited access to resources through inter-library loan and consortia, an extensive digital library, a world renowned special collections and archives, award winning staff and digital initiatives, state-of-the-art media labs; and spaces for group and quiet study. Your support cultivates learning and technology in and out of the classroom.
Cultivate Music, Arts, and Culture
Collections, exhibitions, concerts, speakers, and events
The arts permeate life on Trinity’s campus and enrich the experiences of all of our students. Throughout the year, Trinity hosts concerts, art exhibitions, speakers, theater and dance performances, avant-garde cinema, film festivals, and events. Your support fosters creativity and brings new experiences to all students and the Hartford community.
All gifts through the Trinity College Fund are payable by June 30 and used in the fiscal year in which they are received. We invite you to return to campus to see your support at work ‘neath the elms.
