What Your Gifts Do
Your Gifts at Work
Maintaining the strength of our programs depends greatly on the generous and loyal support of our donors.
Academics
Our students benefit from nationally recognized professors, research opportunities, and life-changing overseas programs. Rigorous courses of study and personal mentoring open the world to students and help them make their place in it.
Financial aid
We are committed to making sure that Lewis & Clark is within reach of students from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. 90 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid.
Student life and services
Whether dedicated to basketball or Bach, or to community service and College Outdoors, students exercise and expand their interests at Lewis & Clark. Co-curricular programs build leadership skills and connect students with communities in and beyond Portland.

Campus and facilities
We steward one of the nation’s most beautiful campuses in ways that sustain our heritage properties while enhancing learning for today’s students.
