SUPPORT THE EXTRAORDINARY
Ripon College is an investment. A worthwhile one. And philanthropic support goes a long way in making the Ripon experience possible. Gifts from friends and alumni help us address both current and future needs. Contributions to the Ripon Fund give us the flexibility to provide scholarships and make campus improvements. And through an endowment, we can ensure the future of Ripon is in good financial standing. All so students can grow into extraordinary lives.

Give a Gift
A gift is a gift, no matter the size or form. If you would like to give to Ripon, we’ll help you find ways to support the College—from department-specific opportunities to planned giving for the future.


“Small class sizes and opportunities to work closely with faculty made Ripon my number one choice. And scholarships made it financially possible to go with my first choice.”
One hundred percent of Ripon students receive some form of financial aid. However you give, you’re supporting those pursuing extraordinary lives.
