BE A LEADER FOR YOUR CLASS

A Community of Generous Donors

Level up your impact during the Granite Challenge.

The 1769 Society is the Dartmouth College Fund's leadership donor community—made up of alumni, parents, and friends who go big for Dartmouth. While they represent only about 10% of DCF donors, they contribute nearly 80% of the total dollars raised each year. That kind of collective impact powers financial aid and helps keep Dartmouth accessible for students from every background.

And during the Granite Challenge? Your leadership gift is matched 1:1—which means you can double your impact just by showing up.

Translation? Your gift helps open twice as many doors. 🚪✨

Why join?

Besides doing serious good (and doubling your impact during the Challenge), you’ll get:

A special welcome packet
Member celebrations during Reunion, Homecoming, and regional gatherings
Invites to exclusive virtual events
A monthly student vlog so you can see your impact in action
Your name on the honor roll (yes, bragging rights included 💪)

It’s impact with perks—and a community that shows up big.💚
