The St. Olaf Fund
The St. Olaf Fund – the college’s annual giving program – supports what faculty, staff, and students do each day to advance learning and living on the Hill. Your gifts support St. Olaf’s greatest needs and give the college flexibility to meet immediate needs and new opportunities as they arise.
How Fund Support was Used 2019-20:
- 43% to financial aid & scholarships
- 32% to campus & community life
(i.e. COVID-related expenses, student orgs, etc.) - 25% to academic programs & support
(Departmental funding, co-curriculars, etc.)
When classrooms moved online, the St. Olaf Fund helped students, faculty, and staff make the transition swiftly and safely. With you, our commitment to provide the best possible liberal arts education has remained strong even as we adapted how we learn and work on the Hill. Thank you for believing in St. Olaf’s mission and supporting Oles through it all.
