Together with revenue from tuition and income from the endowment, gifts to Kenyon’s annual funds enhance every element of the student experience, allow us to care for our historic campus, support faculty and staff — everything that makes Kenyon, Kenyon.
Kenyon operates on a fiscal year beginning July 1. If you are not sure if you’ve made your gift yet this fiscal year, please reach out. And thank you!
With your gift to the Kenyon Fund you:
- Continue the proud tradition of giving that has been the foundation of Kenyon for more than two centuries.
- Help reduce reliance on tuition revenue and endowment income. Each year, annual fund gifts are the equivalent of $3,000 of each student’s tuition.
- In addition, gifts to the Kenyon Fund support student success, support service and success funds.
What the Fund
Kenyon wouldn't be Kenyon without gifts to the Kenyon Fund to make each day on the Hill possible. But what does it really do? We made this explainer to answer what the fund is really all about.
Kenyon Fund Advocates
A number of groups actively encourage support of Kenyon.
Kenyon Fund Executive Committee
The Kenyon Fund Executive Committee is the leadership group for the Kenyon Fund, which has an extensive volunteer network comprised of over 300 volunteers who encourage their fellow alumni and alumnae to support the Kenyon Fund. These volunteers may be class agents, reunion committee members, callers or former student volunteers. The KFEC meets twice a year, once in the fall and again in February.
Student Advancement Officers
These students work with the Advancement Division to reach out to alumni and encourage their support of Kenyon. In addition, they help educate their fellow students about the role philanthropy plays at Kenyon.
Kenyon Parents Council
The Kenyon Parents Council (KPC) is a group of parent leaders who support and promote the mission and vision of Kenyon College through work with career development, engagement and events, and parent philanthropy.
Kenyon Women Giving Back
The Kenyon Women Giving Back volunteer group celebrates philanthropic alumnae, honors their contributions and shares the important stories of how Kenyon women are impacting the world collectively. They are committed to fostering community and engagement with alumnae and current women students and supporting the College financially.
