Catawba College enjoys a strong financial picture. The College's endowment of $320 million supports the College's educational and service activities. The remarkable $200 million gift the College received in late 2021 transformed Catawba's future. One-third of the gift is earmarked to provide recurring funding to support and enhance Catawba's well-established programs in environment and sustainability. Two-thirds of the gift is dedicated to supporting strategic initiatives, strengthening student scholarships, enhancing student success programming, promoting a thriving workplace, and investing in faculty excellence. Catawba has also received gifts in recent years to retire the entirety of the college’s debt, and in 2022, the College received an additional endowment gift of $42 million.
Finally, the teaching and research of faculty across disciplines have clear links to Catawba College’s identity around sustainability. In April 2023, the College became the 13th campus in the United States to achieve carbon neutrality and the 1st in North Carolina. Catawba College is committed to contributing to a more sustainable world through its programs and people.
