Student Philanthropy
At LVC, giving isn’t about how much—it’s about why and where. As a student, you have the power to decide where your gift goes and what it supports. Scholarships, culturally immersive events, academics, athletics—you choose what matters most to you.Ìý
Understanding how philanthropy shapes your LVC experience now puts you in control of the legacy you help build. Every gift, at every level, fuels opportunities that set us apart—on campus and in the workforce.Ìý
You’re not just giving back. You’re moving LVC forward.Ìý

This year, 102 graduating students joined the Walter Society, a community that recognizes individuals who demonstrate a commitment to philanthropy through five consecutive years of giving or a gift made during their graduating year. At the inaugural Walter Society Sunset Reception, students were formally inducted into the Society by its namesake, Pat Walter, and celebrated for their generosity, leadership, and dedication to The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø. We look forward to welcoming these newest Walter Society members back to campus for future Walter Society and alumni events.
Participation in the Graduates For The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Fund is more than a donation; it is a statement of gratitude and belief in the future of Lebanon °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø College. Student donors are recognized on the Class Giving Honor Roll, receive a Graduates For The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Fund donor pin, and become part of a tradition of philanthropy that spans generations of LVC alumni.
A special thank you goes to the Graduates For The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Fund (GFTVF) Committee, whose leadership inspired their classmates to give back. Through their efforts, the Class of 2026 raised $6,991.17 and secured funding for a concrete slab and picnic table that will serve students, alumni, and visitors on the Academic Quad for years to come.
Every gift, regardless of size, helps ensure future generations of Dutchmen have access to the same opportunities, experiences, and sense of community that defined the Class of 2026.
Popular areas of support for the Class of 2026 included:
- The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Fund (supporting the College’s greatest needs)
- Scholarships and financial aid
- Academic departments and programs
- Athletic teams
- Inclusive programming
By participating, graduates leave a lasting legacy while creating opportunities for the students who will follow in their footsteps.
Thank you, graduates, for joining the tradition, celebrating your experience, and investing in the future of The °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø.
