Gift Options
Be a part of LaGrange College's Defining Moment by supporting the new library and related construction and the annual fund.
Why are annual gifts from alumni and friends so important? Simply put, tuition alone doesn't come close to covering the cost of a LaGrange education. In fact, tuition only provides about 72 percent of the funds needed to educate each student. That leaves a significant gap in the College's budget, a gap that the gifts of alumni and friends help to fill.
Support the Library and the Annual Fund by making a three year pledge online.
You may also designate the Annual Fund portion to one of the funds below:
ALUMNI Loyalty Fund for Student Scholarships:
For every $1,000 raised by an alumni class (e.g., Class of ’74), the class receives recognition, and a current student receives a $1,000 scholarship.

Backpack to Briefcase:
The FAMILY Fund for Career Development LaGrange College families support the Career Development Center, which offers students career guidance for their lifetime.

An annual gift to the College can be thought of as creating a Living Endowment. Why? Because your annual gift ensures a dependable source of income for the College year after year, much like the interest income from a traditional endowment.
Your investment also appreciates in value. It multiplies as students open doors of knowledge and opportunity. It increases exponentially as they leave the College to share their minds and hearts with a world in need.
“Part of my pledge every year goes to the annual fund,” says Trustee Janet Gipson Caswell ’66. “The new library is not an island. We still have to do the exciting work of teaching and caring for our students.
“With growing annual support from LaGrange College alumni and friends, this Defining Moment can be fully realized.”
