WESTMONT FUND
Challenge Match Increased Twice...and Surpassed!
The Warrior community's generous response exceeded the original match, and two increases to the challenge match, to a final match amount of $100,000.
We're continuing to tally up gifts, but to date the amount raised is $136,965, resulting in a Giving Tuesday total of $236,965!

Progress Report
As of December 3, 2025:
One Week to Show Your Support
Members of the Westmont Board of Trustees pledged $50,000 to double gifts to the Westmont Fund for one week. Over the course of the week, the match needed to be increased, first to $75,000 then to $100,000 to keep up with the generosity of our community.
Last year our alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends responded with tenacity and blew the challenge out of the water! Our community secured the entire challenge gift to benefit students and made it possible to direct more than $157,000 to the Westmont Fund, a vital source of grants and scholarships that impact students' lives.
This year's response has been even more astonishing! The combined results of the match and gifts totals $236,965! Thank you for demonstrating the generosity of our community and our shared desire to help students pursue a transformative Christian liberal arts education.

Multiply Your Contribution
Every gift makes a difference to a student. And many companies offer matching gift programs and will match the contribution you make to Westmont College, multiplying your impact!
Better Together
Chip in whatever you can. Collectively, our support is transforming lives.
Last year, Westmont provided 95 percent of first year and transfer students financial aid. The college committed a significant amount in aid: $39M. The Westmont Fund reduces financial barriers for students from all economic backgrounds, helping them to pursue a high-caliber Christian liberal arts education at Westmont.
Who makes this possible? You do! On behalf of all of our students and the Westmont Community...thank you!
Thank you for supporting Westmont students!
