The Marietta Fund: Turning Generosity into Impact
At Marietta College, we take pride in our mission to provide students with a transformative education, one that prepares them for lifelong leadership and service. Central to this mission is The Marietta Fund—a powerful resource that allows us to address the evolving needs of our students and community. Your support ensures that our Pioneers thrive academically, athletically, and personally.
With your annual gift to The Marietta Fund, you have the opportunity to make a direct and immediate impact by supporting one of four key areas:
1. Student Priorities
Provide flexibility to address the most urgent needs on campus. Whether it’s upgrading classroom technology, enhancing student experiences, or responding to unforeseen challenges, your gift to Student Priorities ensures Marietta College can meet critical needs as they arise.
2. Student Aid
Help open the doors to a Marietta College education. By giving to Student Aid, you reduce financial barriers for talented, driven students, allowing them to focus on their education and fully immerse themselves in the Pioneer experience.
3. Pioneer Club
Power our Pioneers. The Pioneer Club strengthens our student-athletes by providing access to top-tier facilities, expert coaching, and opportunities for growth on and off the field. Your support ensures that Marietta’s athletic tradition continues to thrive.
4. Women in Sports
Champion our female student-athletes. By giving to Women in Sports, you provide critical resources like equipment, travel, and program support that empower these students to succeed and excel. Your support helps them break barriers and build a stronger legacy of opportunity and excellence in athletics.
Your Gift, Your Impact
You can support The Marietta Fund through various avenues, such as one-time gifts, recurring donations, or planned giving. Each donation, regardless of size, makes a lasting difference in the lives of Marietta students. Join us in investing in the future of Marietta College by contributing to the Marietta Fund today.
