Recognizing Our Donors
Leaders in Philanthropy
Carthage honors the philanthropic partnerships formed with our most committed donors who include the College in their giving plans in very significant ways.
Your partnership powers every aspect of education at Carthage College, from financial aid and internships to faculty and program support. Every gift makes a difference, and every donor is unique. Find the philanthropic society that matches your philanthropic goals.
Courtesies accorded to society members include special communications such as newsletters and advance notice of campus celebrations, invitations to exclusive events, recognition of your giving, and the assignment of a College representative to help coordinate your engagement with and philanthropic choices in support of Carthage.
