Annual Giving
Your annual contributions enhance the quality of the Evergreen experience, and open the door for many students who couldn’t otherwise afford their education.
Today, Evergreen relies more than ever on private donations for student scholarships, faculty development and support for critical programs across campus. A successful Annual Fund is a sign of a growing and healthy Evergreen. Your gift is a key to that success.
Give Every Year…Make an Impact Every Day
The Evergreen Annual Fund
Each year, Evergreen benefits from the generosity of alumni, parents and friends who make annual gifts to support the college, the students and the faculty. These contributions enable Evergreen to meet pressing challenges and take advantage of unexpected opportunities that arise throughout the year. When you give to Evergreen’s Annual Fund, you help provide a reliable and flexible stream of support for academic programs, student projects, faculty research, scholarships, library resources and more.
Phone-A-Thon
Our student callers give alumni, parents and friends the opportunity to update your records, hear more about recent happenings around campus and provide your financial support for the Annual Fund. If you haven’t received a call from Evergreen in a while, please send us your phone number. We’d like to hear what you have to say about Evergreen, and thank you for making the Evergreen experience possible for current students.

Tacoma Program
Evergreen's Tacoma program is committed to providing junior and senior-level students with an interdisciplinary, reality-based, community-responsive liberal arts education. The unique inner-city location combined with a curriculum that integrates students' life experiences and goals with an emphasis on diverse cultural perspectives provides a unique opportunity for students to go into local communities and engage in research, education and problem-solving projects that are as beneficial to those communities as they are to students. Gifts to the Tacoma Annual Fund go toward providing student scholarships for students enrolled at the Tacoma Campus.
