Parent and Family Giving

At Kalamazoo College, parents and families of students are important members of our campus community. You’ve shared your most valuable gift with us—your student. We invite you to enhance your involvement in the life of the College by considering a gift to K.

Parent and family gifts provide an immediate, positive impact on the Kalamazoo College student experience. These gifts help transform the educational experience for your student, provide resources for exceptional faculty focused on academic success and support the College’s highest priorities. When parents and families give to the College, you enhance the experience of all K students, including your own. Honor your student’s decision to pursue a Kalamazoo College degree and your family’s educational investment by making a charitable gift today.

Give to K

President’s Parents Leadership Circle

Students in classroom laboratory

President’s Parents Leadership Circle is a unique opportunity for parents of current Kalamazoo College students. Parents who give $500 or more annually to any area of Kalamazoo College are part of this leadership group. These donors receive invitations to special events throughout the academic year, including a wine and cheese reception during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend.

To become part of the President’s Parents Leadership Circle, make your one-time $500 gift to Kalamazoo College online today or make your leadership gift over the course of the year by becoming a recurring monthly or yearly donor.

Questions: Please contact Laurel Palmer at 269.337.7282 to set up monthly giving.

Honor Your Student

2024 Kalamazoo College graduates

Make a gift in honor of your and/or another K student. Such generosity will immediately benefit current Kalamazoo College students just as the impact of gifts from alumni, parents, families and friends of K benefited your student’s experience.

You may make a gift online in honor of your senior at www.kzoo.edu/onlinegiving. Please place the name of the student(s) you would like to honor on the giving form.

Why Support K Beyond Tuition?

Tuition costs at Kalamazoo College, as at most colleges, do not reflect the entire cost of educating students. Gifts to the Kalamazoo College Fund are relied upon each year to help close the gap between what parents and families pay and what it actually costs to educate students.

Gifts from parents and families help the College provide exceptional educational opportunities and learning experiences for every K student.
