How to Contribute to The Campaign For Claremont McKenna

Pace-Setting Gifts

Pace-setting gifts encouraged leaders of The Campaign for Claremont McKenna to set high goals:

$200 million from Robert Day ’65, to launch the Robert Day Scholars Program. See The Robert Day Scholars Program for more details.
$75 million, unrestricted, from Henry Kravis ’67, in honor of which the College will name The Kravis Center, which will house several academic departments, classrooms, faculty offices, and five institutes.
$20 million from George Roberts ’66 P’93 and his family to create the George R. Roberts Faculty Leadership Initiative, which will create 27 endowed chairs for faculty and generate $40 million more for the CMC endowment.
$20 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to fund the Interdisciplinary Science Scholarship Program, which is designed to promote leadership in science and to support students with financial need.
$13.9 million from the Frank Seaver estate to form the Frank Seaver Leadership Scholars Program. This merit scholarship program will allow CMC to recruit outstanding students who demonstrate exceptional leadership capabilities.
As much as $4 million from Steven Crown ’74 as part of a challenge to all CMC alumni. Extending over five years, the Crown Challenge will generate as much as $4 million in additional funds for the College if alumni participate in ever-greater numbers.
