Giving to Elmhurst

Why Give to Elmhurst?

When you make a gift to Elmhurst, you support a strong and vital future for our College, our community and our world.

That’s because the Elmhurst Experience goes far beyond a first-class academic education. With a signature combination of liberal learning and professional preparation, Elmhurst doesn’t just prepare students for jobs—we prepare them to pursue lives of achievement, meaning and service.

Like all colleges, however, Elmhurst cannot survive on tuition revenue alone. Tuition pays for just a fraction of a student’s education at Elmhurst.

To bridge the gap between what families can afford and the true cost of the Elmhurst Experience, the College provides about $32 million in overall financial aid every year. And we rely on the generous support of our friends and alumni to help us continue to do so.

What’s more, your gift to Elmhurst can have financial advantages for you. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law, and some types of planned gifts even provide income.

Your support is vitally important to the achievement of our great, shared goals. Please make your gift today.
