Where does my gift go?
This year you are able to select the area in which you would like to support. If you don't have a particular area, you can choose to give to the annual fund. The Annual Fund is a key source of expendable income and one of the college’s best resources to address emerging opportunities and respond to unanticipated needs and challenges of students, like scholarship support.

Is my We Are Clinton contribution tax deductible?
Yes, your gift is entirely tax deductible. You will receive an email confirmation that may serve as your receipt for tax purposes.
Does it cost anything to give through We Are Clinton? How much of my donation will the college receive?
There is a 4% processing fee and a 2.5% (+ $.30) bank fee for donations made using all major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express). You have the option to cover these costs in addition to your gift. If you choose not to do so, the cost will be absorbed through the college’s administrative budget, leaving 100% of your gift to support students and to remain tax deductible.
What if I already made a gift to the college this year?
