The Manchester Fund

Many donors ask us where the greatest need is for the College.

The Manchester Fund!

Just a few of the many projects The Manchester Fund helps finance are:

• Technology resources for student and faculty research
• Financial aid for students
• Lab equipment and supplies
• Maintenance of athletic facilities and classrooms
• Residence hall upkeep
• Student activities, such as Homecoming and May Day
• Faculty continuing education

In general, The Manchester Fund helps pay for those things that would be difficult to afford if the money came from tuition only. Said differently, The Manchester Fund helps control tuition costs.

This fund is so vital to the College that a significant percentage of faculty and staff contribute to it with their own money. Thousands of alumni and friends give to The Manchester Fund as well. Student "phonathoners" do much of the fund-raising, contacting individuals to help Manchester in this important effort. We recognize our top donors to The Manchester Fund with special designations.

Giving to The Manchester Fund is easy! See our "How to Give" page for options.
