Transforming the ways and the places in which we teach.



Any gift designated for a particular strategic initiative — as endowment support, scholarship assistance, building renovation — is a capital gift. These investments of cash, securities, and property from generous alumni, parents, and friends have helped Colgate to prosper; they have also provided countless opportunities for community members to honor or memorialize individuals of their choosing.

Kerschners take lead in high-impact philanthropy When they began their career as Colgate parents, the Ed and Maxine Kerschner didn’t let tuition payments absolve them from jumping into private university life — they immediately accepted an invitation to join the Society of Families’ Parents’ and Grandparents’ Fund steering committee.
