Giving to Reed
Parents Fund
Thank you for your interest in the Reed College Parents Fund. Each year, a growing number of parents choose to express their support of Reed College with a charitable gift to the Parents Fund. Philanthropic support from parents serves as a powerful endorsement of the educational experience provided by Reed. Philanthropy also plays a key role in the overall financial strength of the college.
Last year, the Parents Fund contributed close to $500,000 of the $3.5 million raised in annual support of Reed. Parents Fund donors directly enhance the educational experience for their own child, as well as for their child’s fellow Reedies. Their gifts subsidize specific expenditures such as: student activities, the purchase of new library books, resources for research carried out by faculty and students, and student financial aid. Parents may also choose to direct 100% of their gifts to financial aid.
The benefits of a Reed education last a lifetime. Many parents of alumni honor Reed’s lifelong influence by continuing to give to the Parents Fund year after year. Often, parents are motivated by an appreciation for the profound impact that Reed has on their child’s life beyond college. These generous parents strengthen the value of their child’s degree by strengthening Reed College through their philanthropy.
Reed appreciates all parents of current students and parents of alumni who make the college a philanthropic priority.
