The Clarkson Fund: Clarkson's
Strategic Investment Fund
We have a challenge. Since
the tradition of “giving-back” began over a century
ago, Clarkson alumni, parents and friends continue to rally
for the place they call their own. The place they equate with
excellence in education. The place where intelligence is fueled
and dreams take flight.
While the tradition is long-standing, there seems to
be a misperception among some Clarksonians – that in
order to give, one must give a substantial donation.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Your annual unrestricted gift – no
matter the size – is important:
- It will show the world what we already know – that
Clarkson alumni and friends believe in their University.
- It will help keep Clarkson competitive while maintaining
and building upon the value of your own Clarkson degree.
- And of course, there’s
strength in numbers: collectively, gifts of all sizes
make a powerful difference!
- Other reasons your gift
matters.

a future student … who now only dreams of experiencing
the Clarkson that you remember.
It takes only a minute ... you'll be glad you did.

The North Country Friends of Clarkson University have made
a difference in the lives of local students for over 20 years,
providing support to a variety of needs including scholarships,
athletics and student research projects.
The Parents Fund plays an important role in helping to ensure
a quality experience for all Clarkson students. Each year,
parents of Clarkson students - and parents of students who
have graduated from Clarkson - support a project that addresses
an important need on campus. Examples of past Parents Fund
projects include the Parents Association Lounge in the Cheel
Campus Center and the Adirondack Lodge.
Key to the success of The Clarkson Fund is the annual student
phonathon. The phonathon center, located in Woodstock Lodge,
comes alive Sunday-Wednesday evenings in the fall and spring
with the energy and excitement of Clarkson students.
Gifts made through a Class Reunion effort help students achieve
their passion for a solid education through Clarkson and keep
the University highly competitive and nationally recognized.
Because many alumni increase their personal giving during
a Reunion year, total gifts from Reunion classes make a significant
difference for all Clarkson students.
The Senior Gift program is a tradition that allows each graduating
class the opportunity to give something back to the students
at Clarkson. Representatives from the senior class select
a project and implement a fund-raising campaign to enhance
the education of future students.
Great things are happening at Clarkson! Keep your Clarkson
connections strong by getting involved and help keep Clarkson
competitive at the same time! From supporting Clarkson with
a gift or serving on a committee, to attending your Class
Reunion, there are many ways to show your support and get
involved through The Clarkson Fund.
