Parent and Family Giving
Life-changing experiences await students on our campus, and many of them — internships, scholarships, athletics, the arts, and more — are supported by the generosity of families who have witnessed it all firsthand through their students. Together, our families are a global community united by a shared passion for, and belief in, the transformative power of a liberal arts education.
Getting involved with Skidmore is an open and flexibile invitation. We recognize that college alone is a significant investment, and we honor the capacity for all our families to pay it forward wherever and however they can. From volunteering to giving, every minute and every dollar makes a difference.

The Senior Family Project brings together parents, grandparents, and extended family
members to honor and celebrate graduating seniors. When you make a gift to the Senior
Family project, your student’s first and last name are etched on a brick and placed
on the plaza walkway outside Case Center. It is a wonderful tradition and is a visible
tribute to new graduates as they leave Skidmore and become alumni.
Together, donations to the project help:
- Recognize and celebrate the achievements of their graduate
- Provide financial support for students and the campus environment
- Reinforce the importance of philanthropy

of interests with the Skidmore community and other families. Participants take part

and future goals.
