The Campaign for Ripon College
Since its July 2010 launch, Imagine Tomorrow has raised more than $35 million in leadership funds to strengthen areas critical to Ripon College’s mission: student scholarships and aid, off-campus and Maymester study, faculty support and development, and facility enhancement. Of the $50 million campaign target, $34 million will provide resources for student and faculty endowed funds, $11 million in Annual Fund support for ongoing operations, and $5 million in leadership gifts for the planning of renovations to our athletic, recreation and fitness facilities.
During the public phase of the campaign we are focused on sustaining our momentum and achieving the strategic initiatives laid out in our case statement. With your participation in the Imagine Tomorrow campaign, we are bolstering our endowment and insuring the College is able to carry on its tradition as a leading liberal arts and sciences college, proud of its history and confident about the future.
Student Support and Development
Support our next generation of student scholars and preserve the affordability of the College’s richly personalized liberal arts and sciences education.
The Imagine Tomorrow campaign is raising funds to support new scholarships and replenish currently existing scholarships, off-campus and Maymester study programs, student research opportunities, and help grow diversity on campus.
Faculty Support and Development
Help us to support faculty research and development, attract renowned visiting lecturers, and recruit the next generation of inspiring teachers and scholars to Ripon College.
The Imagine Tomorrow campaign is raising funds to establish new and existing professorships and chairs, support research grants and travel, provide new labs and equipment, and attract high-caliber keynote speakers.
Facility Enhancement
Provide initial leadership funds to help us underwrite the planning and refurbishment of upgrades to Ripon College facilities.
The thoughtful renovation of our cherished historic spaces and construction of new state-of-the-art facilities for athletics, recreation and fitness will provide prospective faculty and students with powerful incentives to choose Ripon College.
