About

The Denison Annual Fund provides flexible, immediate support that sustains the student experience and advances the college’s most important priorities each year. Gifts to the annual fund help make a Denison education accessible through financial aid; strengthen teaching and learning; expand career preparation and internships; enrich campus life; and enhance our alumni network. Because these funds can be used where they are needed most, they allow the college to respond quickly to emerging opportunities and ensure that students benefit from the full Denison experience.

Give to Denison’s Annual Fund today to make a fast, tangible contribution where the college needs it most.
