About the Campaign

At Pomona College, we dare our students to dream boldly, push them to think broadly and deeply, encourage them to stretch their creative muscles and to take intellectual risks and challenge them—in the words inscribed on our gates—to “bear their added riches in trust for mankind.”

To enhance and strengthen all that we value most in a Pomona education, the College has launched the most ambitious fundraising campaign in its history. Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds is a five-year effort that will seek a minimum of $250 million for strategic initiatives that are critical to Pomona’s future and to the future success of our students. These include: ensuring access for deserving students through endowed scholarship support; enhancing teaching and learning with a focus on creativity and active engagement; improving critical facilities that support living and learning; and strengthening the Annual Fund, which provides flexible funding for student aid, faculty support and a range of programs.
