What's Your Why?

While philanthropic giving contributes to collective good, the motivations that drive giving decisions are deeply individualized. The most meaningful and rewarding gifts are those that align closely with donors’ unique values, goals, life experiences and more.

Carleton donors are alumni, retirees, faculty, staff, corporate and community partners, longtime supporters and new friends. You are vastly unique and motivated by different factors, but united in your shared commitment to making a positive difference.

Hear from fellow donors as they reflect on their reasons for giving and the impact they wish to make.
