Institutional Advancement
Parents' Fund:
Colgate's Parents' Fund is a leader among our peer institutions. Please consider joining this group of dedicated parents who are truly doing an incredible job with fundraising for Colgate. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Parent Calling Program
There is one calling period in the fall.  You may contact Colgate parents (5 max) for Presidents' Club level gifts ($2,000 minimum) or for gifts of any size.

Parent Hosted Events:
Events are generally hosted at someone's home, club, or restaurant.  The Parents' Fund will work with you to determine an appropriate format such as a cocktail reception, a buffet dinner or a sit-down dinner. The average number of guests is generally around 25, and a staff member from the Parents' Fund will attend the event to assist you. Speakers from campus are available, but 10 weeks notice is needed. You can receive a gift-in-kind for the event that will count toward your parent contribution.
