Day of Giving

Rooted in Gratitude, Growing in Generosity:
11 Years of Day of Giving

Since 2015, Coe’s Day of Giving has been a powerful way to bring together alumni, family, friends, students and faculty/staff in celebration of our shared Kohawk experience. More than just a fundraising event, it’s a day that unites Kohawks worldwide to reconnect, reminisce and
invest in the future of Coe College.

Giving days are not unique to Coe, but our Day of Giving stands apart because of the generosity and spirit of our community. Over the past 11 years, this day has evolved into a vital tradition that helps bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of a Coe education. By supporting the Annual Fund, we provide essential resources that ensure every student has access to transformative experiences — whether through career preparation with our award-winning C3: Creativity, Careers, Community team, enhanced mental health and
wellness services or robust academic support.

This year, as we mark the fifth anniversary of the Derecho that challenged our campus, we
reflect on the resilience and strength of the Kohawk community. Just as we came together in that
moment to rebuild, we now come together to propel Coe forward.

With 40% of our student body now being first-generation college students and a growing
international community, Coe remains committed to providing an accessible, world-class
education. 99% of our most recent incoming class benefited from a well-tailored financial aid
and scholarship package — made possible, in part, by the Annual Fund.

Join us on April 3, 2025, as we celebrate 11 years of generosity and continue to grow the impact
of Coe’s Day of Giving. Together, we are rooted in gratitude and growing in generosity.
