Our Campaign for Trinity College

Our Goal is $500 Million

The Trinity community leans into promise, into the capacity of highly motivated and perceptive individuals to capitalize on a great education and make ideas matter. This is the Trinity way: committing to hard work, learning what it takes, helping one another, and lifting dreams and vision into action. Because we know that when the people of Trinity are all in, anything is possible.
