The Annual Fund lies at the heart of the Rhodes experience. It is the bridge between income from endowment and tuition and what it costs to educate a student at Rhodes. Every student benefits from Annual Fund gifts. Because gifts are unrestricted, we can put them to use immediately in the area most needed.
The mission of the Lynx Club is to secure financial support for Rhodes College Athletics. Each year, approximately 25% of our students compete on one of 10 men’s and 11 women’s varsity teams in the Southern Athletic Association.
Gifts of stocks or bonds allow you to make a gift to Rhodes and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full fair market value.

The Peyton Nalle Rhodes Society, The Benefactors’ Circle, The Bellingrath Society, and The Ralph C. Hon Society honors alumni, parents, and friends who have made contributions that will make a significant difference to future generations of Rhodes College students.
The Senior Gift Campaign is a great way for students to partner with alumni, parents, faculty and staff and give back to the college that has given us so much.
You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help support Rhodes, to honor a family member, or to show your appreciation for support you received as a student. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support the college.
Gifts to Rhodes’ endowment assure the growth and ongoing success of the college. An endowment enables the donor to leave a personal legacy or recognize a special individual in a meaningful and lasting way. At the same time, it enhances the education of generations of students.
Rhodes College provides the opportunity to give in even additional ways. If you are interested in sending in a check, paying over the phone, EFT, or interested in Matching Gifts, please visit our Other Ways to Give page.
