Giving to Carthage

Your Giving Matters

Since its founding by Lutheran pioneers in 1847, the college we now know as Carthage has provided students with a classical education in the arts and sciences. Superb faculty, curriculum, programs, and facilities prepare graduates to become leaders in their careers and communities. Only the generosity and vision of those who give to the College make this possible. These gifts, and those who give them, lead the way to continued excellence.

Strategies and Priorities

From simple beginnings embraced by Lutheran pioneers nearly 165 years ago, Carthage has emerged as a leading liberal arts institution, respected for its challenging academic program, personal care and attention, and an abiding respect for human values.

Today the College has much to celebrate: 165 years of great memories and people; 50 years of a wonderful partnership with the Kenosha community; and the past 25 transformative years, a period during which we have achieved the vision of Carthage's longest serving president.

We are proud to announce Celebrating Carthage, the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the College. The goal of Celebrating Carthage is to raise $1 million for each year of the College's life — $165 million — by December 31, 2012. Read more.

Letters & Stories

Adam Van Huis, '12

"Carthage provides the unique opportunity to develop close relationships with your professors. I knew that I would be able to rely on my professors for help when I needed it and for challenges when I felt up to it." Read more.

"Seeking truth and building strength are challenging endeavors, but their ultimate purpose is to inspire service.
So what if we become smart and strong if we do nothing useful as a result. But when truth, strength and service do come together, they produce beautiful lives."

— President F. Gregory Campbell
