Giving to Sarah Lawrence College
Sarah Lawrence is committed to education in the singular. Sarah Lawrence shapes one mind at a time. This strong, clear focus on the individual is increasingly rare—and vitally important—in the world of higher education, but it is an expensive mission. The College relies on contributions from alumnae/i, parents and friends to keep this unique educational experience flourishing.
There are many ways to support the College. Unrestricted annual giving through The Parents Fund and The Fund for Sarah Lawrence is absolutely essential in making sure students and faculty have the daily resources they need for living and learning. Current restricted use gifts are a targeted way to support, at a leadership level, the crucial building blocks of the Sarah Lawrence community, namely, faculty, student life, and campus spaces. You can also make a planned gift to Sarah Lawrence, providing for the College in the long-term while earning income or tax benefits for yourself.
The College is grateful for your support. Every gift counts! If you’ve benefited from a Sarah Lawrence education or know its value, you know just how important it is to pass that life-changing experience along to the next generation of students.
