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.
In the most significant matching opportunity in the college’s history, we can secure $20 million in new investments and dramatically advance a goal central to Trinity’s mission: Expanding access for talented, deserving students who would otherwise be unable to attend Trinity solely because of their family financial circumstances.
We will combine the power of the liberal arts with engaged learning in a capital city through our “Trinity Plus” curriculum, blending the best of classroom learning with wide-ranging and real-world professional experiences.
We will invest in our greatest resource, our passionate teacher-scholars, especially through the gift of endowed professorships, which advance the work and community of our faculty and enable Trinity to secure the next generation of excellent teacher-scholars.
We will revitalize our campus facilities and make them exceptional sites for learning and research as well as for faculty and student recruitment, retention, and inspiration.
We will invest in human talent, transform lives, and build a stronger community.
We will enroll exceptional middle-income students, restoring socioeconomic balance on campus and making our student community more representative of our society.
We will recruit the most talented students from the city of Hartford and the Greater Capital Region.
We will recruit the best students from every country and dramatically raise the College’s global profile and reputation.
We will act as never before on a socioeconomic reality: a Trinity education is one of the most effective ways for great students to lift their opportunities in life.
We will dramatically boost our success as the home of opportunity for all outstanding students.
We will strengthen the integrative living-learning approach that defines the lasting Trinity experience.
We will ensure that our strategy for student and young alumni career success maximizes professional development opportunities and fully funded internships.
We will help make a culture of wellness intrinsic to every student’s experience.
We will revitalize, repurpose, and modernize Trinity’s residential spaces, including South Campus and our Cultural and Social Houses.
We will expand Trinity’s capacity to help every student thrive and provide the programming that ensures this campus is their welcoming home.
The Trinity College Fund is an imperative complement to our endowment and provides critical resources to advance the College’s work in every aspect of campus life on a daily basis. Through the Trinity College Fund, you can direct your gift to one of seven priorities:
We will bolster our athletic endowments and annual fund, so that they are as strong as the programs they support.
We will create a center worthy of our students’ highest aspirations for competition, physical challenge, and healthy living.
We will complete the stadium facility, keeping our programs at the forefront of NESCAC and national competition.
We will restore the historic Chapel, which remains at the heart of our mission and community, to its proper grandeur.
We will maintain the perpetual place of Chapel leadership in the student experience and their vital work of service, mentorship, and guidance.
We will ensure that, as long as Trinity stands, the Chapel will deliver the activities that have proven fundamental to our campus community.

Students in every community possess the drive and ability to make the most of a Trinity education, and so it is incumbent on us to open the college’s doors wider than ever before.
We are pursuing the most ambitious campaign in our college’s history because it gives us a chance to strengthen every aspect of the Trinity experience. I know this community will surpass every expectation on the path ahead because that’s the Trinity way.
Trinity is a community that takes great ideas and turns them into action in all sectors of life. We’re committing to this campaign because a stronger, more effective, and more influential Trinity matters to every community in which our graduates reside.
I believe in the power of curiosity and education to transform an individual and, through a community, transform the world. This campaign will allow Trinity to both continue to make an impact, as it has for 200 years, and innovate the future we wish to see.

Trinity College’s 2023 TAG Week fundraising challenge surpassed previous years’ records with 2,200 donors contributing more than $1.2 million in support for Bantam intercollegiate athletic teams.
A tight-knit group of friends—all of whom graduated in the 1990s, met their spouses at Trinity, and participated on Bantam sports teams—recently got together to make a joint leadership gift establishing a new fund at Trinity dedicated to supporting equity in women’s athletics.
As chair emeritus of the Parents Leadership Council, a Trinity donor, and an all-around champion for the College and for the benefits that accrue as a result of families’ involvement in the school, Tim Hoeffner P’21, ’23 is helping to build Trinity connections that matter.
Join us. Together, we will go all in and build a stronger college.
