Leadership Giving staff partner with Oberlin College alumni, parents, and friends like you to identify personalized individual giving opportunities. We feel the most successful financial commitments to the College evolve from a careful consideration of your interests. This allows us to create a philanthropic plan that provides a productive, on-going outlet for your goals and creates a tremendous benefit for Oberlin.

You might choose to endow a fund for scholarship support, curriculum development, library book purchases, or art and musical instrument acquisitions. You might also explore endowing a professorship to honor an individual or celebrate Oberlin’s tradition of attracting phenomenal teacher-scholars to work with our students. Our staff can also work with you to support campus building initiatives.
