Annual Giving

Every gift to the Franklin & Marshall Fund is vital to every aspect of the F&M student experience — supporting close student-faculty collaboration, energizing campus life, extending financial aid to talented students, expanding programs for student-athletes, promoting ongoing opportunities for learning and discovery, and preparing students for life after college. In short, the Franklin & Marshall Fund provides the resources necessary to sustain the College and its mission of excellence in undergraduate education.

The generosity of Franklin & Marshall’s alumni, parents and friends reflects their unwavering belief in the College’s mission, helps to preserve the legacy of opportunity available to past, present and future students, and sustains the College’s tremendous momentum. Regardless of whether your gift is unrestricted or designated for a specific purpose, your support for the Franklin & Marshall Fund will propel us to a greater future than would otherwise be possible.

We thank those who have supported and continue to support F&M. And we invite all members of the F&M community to make an impact by giving to the Franklin & Marshall Fund today.

To learn more about the Franklin & Marshall Fund, please contact Director of Class and Affinity Giving Christine L. Kmieczak at 717-358-4795 or christine.kmieczak@fandm.edu.​

Many alumni maintain strong ties to Franklin & Marshall through their Greek organizations, sports teams, student organizations or other shared interests. These lifelong ties often motivate alumni to unite with a specific group and collectively give so they can ensure that the College and its programs continue to thrive.

If you are interested in giving to or in honor of a particular program, please contact Director of Class and Affinity Giving Christine L. Kmieczak at 717-358-4795 or christine.kmieczak@fandm.edu.

The Diplomat Athletic Club (DAC) fosters excellence in Franklin & Marshall athletics by expanding opportunities for student-athletes to develop leadership skills, cultivating loyalty among student-athletes, alumni and friends, and securing the financial support necessary for maintaining and enhancing the caliber of F&M's athletic programming. DAC supports student-athletes by sponsoring training trips, investing in new equipment and facilities and creating an environment where the values of teamwork, determination and commitment to excellence continue to take precedence.

Gifts to DAC — which can support athletics in general or a program of your choice — allow F&M to create champions not only in the final game or overtime, but also on the practice field, in the off-seasons and in their daily lives.

For more information, contact Director of Parent and Athletic Advancement Katie Crowe Wood at 717-358-4834 or katie.wood.@fandm.edu.

The Senior Donor Challenge is a long-standing tradition at F&M, inviting seniors to make a gift to the College that creates a lasting legacy. This is an opportunity for current seniors to take their first step down the path of philanthropy and pay it forward for future Diplomats. 

Participating in the Senior Donor Challenge is the perfect way to express gratitude for your F&M experience, while also making sure that this experience continues for generations to come. 

Annual Giving volunteers are a vital part of our fundraising efforts. Each year, dedicated alumni volunteers work to contact friends and acquaintances whom they met through activities and events at F&M in order to solicit and express appreciation for gifts. These connections emphasize the personal impact of giving, for both donors and the recipients of our donors' generosity. We are grateful for the dedication and loyalty of both our donors and our volunteers.

If you are interested in volunteering your time in this way, contact Director of Class and Affinity Giving Christine Kmieczak at 717-358-4795 or christine.kmieczak@fandm.edu.
