Special Funding Appeal

 
As I write this, the sun is shining and I can almost smell the earth waking up. I've learned from my New England friends that although the weather will soon change (and change again), we need to let this irrepressible sense of optimism carry us forward.

Like everything in springtime, we at Champlain sit on the cusp of so much renewal at this moment. But we cannot afford to rest. I ask you, a steadfast Champlain supporter, to please renew your gift today and help carry our students forward.

A gift made right now to the Champlain Fund will empower students of all backgrounds and aspirations to reach beyond the limitations imposed by the pandemic and make the most of their Champlain experiences.

Right now, our two areas of greatest need are unrestricted gifts to the Champlain Fund and scholarship support. The pandemic has impacted each of us differently. But, if you are in a position to help, I ask you to please take action today.

Here's to sunny days.

Cash gifts to the Champlain Fund

Fundraising Priorities

Gifts of Stock/Appreciated Securities

Some donors choose to give stock or appreciated securities to Champlain College, which allows us to provide our students with scholarship assistance, as well as opportunities for experiential learning, professional development and study abroad. These gifts are an easy way to make a difference while providing you with both short- and long-term tax benefits. Learn More ->

Crowdfunding

There's a reason we've been named a "Most Innovative School" in the North by U.S. News & World Report—our students, faculty and staff think BIG! But they often need some assistance to bring their ideas to life. We are excited to unveil our new crowdfunding platform in 2020. Coming Soon!
