Your gift helps make all of this possible.

At Alma College, we create a personalized journey for every student, guiding them toward their unique vision of success in a changing world. With your support, we can empower future leaders to think critically, lead with purpose, and engage responsibly in their communities.

Your gift directly impacts students’ lives, helping them thrive and shaping the next generation of Scots.


Our Initiatives

Giving to the Annual Fund provides essential resources that benefit students each year. Your contributions support scholarships, academic programs, and student life, ensuring every Scot has the opportunity to pursue their education and thrive.

Your generosity helps create the leaders of tomorrow. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Alma Fund

A gift to the Alma Fund provides the most flexible, immediate-use resources for academic excellence, emergency financial assistance, campus safety enhancements, co-curricular programs, as well as other expenses that enrich campus life. Alma Fund dollars have the same impact as tuition dollars – they fund everything that makes Alma special.

Scot Athletics Fund

Your gift to the Alma College Scots will provide team uniforms, team travel, tournament participation and more. Give to the Scot Athletics to benefit the entire athletic program or designate your gift to support a favorite team.

Campus Life

Campus life at Alma College fosters community, friendships, and personal growth. By giving to Campus Life, you enhance the student experience by supporting the Center for College and Community Engagement, campus beautification, Diversity and Inclusion, Sororities and Fraternities, and the Julius Chatman Living and Learning Community.

Your gift creates a vibrant, inclusive environment where every Scot can thrive and make the most of their time on campus, turning Alma into a home for personal and social growth.

A Donor Perspective

We didn't get to where we were as students because of one person — it's always been a whole community coming together to make Alma College special.
