Campaign Goals

In 2007, Lake Forest College celebrated 150 years of education and service.  The College will embark on an ambitious capital campaign with these goals:

  • to double the size of the College’s endowment, which will raise endowment per student closer to its peer group average. MORE

  • to construct three strategically important facilities that are essential for the College to recruit and educate today’s students. MORE

  • to increase annual contributions from alumni donors substantially. A strong annual fund provides the foundation of financial stability for an institution of Lake Forest College’s size.  MORE

The College invites you to support Lake Forest College: The 150th Anniversary Capital Campaign, a campaign to secure $100 million that will enhance the College’s national prominence and support its mission in which we all take pride. With your help, Lake Forest will reach the most ambitious goal in its 150 year history.
