YOUR GIFT CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE—OF A STUDENT, OF THE ISLAND, OF THE WORLD
Support the next generation of changemakers
College of the Atlantic’s unique, experience-based educational model, known for its intimate class sizes, interdisciplinary approach, and leadership in environmental sustainability, would not be possible without the support of our generous donors.
When you give to COA, you are making an investment in people, this island we love, and the planet. Thank you for supporting this unique institution of higher education.
Why your gift matters
College of the Atlantic’s pioneering model—defined by small class sizes, interdisciplinary learning, and global leadership in sustainability—relies on donor support to thrive.
Tuition and endowment income alone do not cover the full cost of operations. Gifts to the Annual Fund (unrestricted gifts) help close this gap and ensure every student has access to a transformative education.
What the annual fund supports
Gifts to the Annual Fund provide essential funding for:
- Merit- and need-based aid to secure the brightest and most curious students
- Field-based coursework and global study
- Faculty innovation
- Campus facilities and technology improvements
- Partnerships with local and international organizations
