Nurture Student Success
At Reed, success is measured by growth, connection, and the courage to ask questions. To meet the moment, Reed gives students the freedom and resources to become more than they expected.
Advance Academic Excellence
Humanities 110. The conference table. The senior thesis. Outstanding faculty. Excellent academic facilities. To meet the moment, Reed’s approach encourages students to create knowledge, not just absorb it.
Cultivate an Inclusive Community
An inclusive community at Reed contributes to a productive and rich educational experience. To meet the moment, Reed enables students to welcome and engage with professors and peers with different views, backgrounds, and perspectives in an environment of belonging and trust.
Supporting the Annual Fund
Gifts to the Annual Fund support all three campaign pillars: nurturing student success, advancing academic excellence, and cultivating an inclusive community. Through underwriting financial aid for more than 60 percent of our students, supporting dedicated faculty in their shared commitment to teaching and scholarship, funding classroom technology and equipment, creating opportunities for students beyond the classroom, and preserving the campus environment, Annual Fund gifts sustain and shape the Reed experience.
One hundred percent of Annual Fund dollars are spent in the year they are given, supporting immediate priorities not funded through tuition dollars alone. Your Annual Fund gift makes an immediate, lasting impact for Reedies.
Power in Numbers
We need brave people right now. We need people with strong morals and values, and also creativity and ingenuity. Reed supports people who have those skills, and helps bring them out in people.
