Give Now Alumni & Families

North Central’s Office of Institutional Advancement continually engages our alumni, parents and friends to further support the mission of the College. From working with donors who provide financial resources for the College’s various funds, scholarships and programs to bringing alumni and friends together at campus, regional and special events, the goal of Institutional Advancement is to build strong ties and affinity for the College.

What to Support

Donors like you are the driving force behind our students’ success and the financial health of the College. You are there to help celebrate our victories and stand behind us through challenging times. You encourage and uplift us with your generous support. You provide the means for us to offer the very best liberal arts education. Below are the areas of support with the greatest need:
