Smith College Sweaters That Give Back

At Alumknits, every Smith sweater tells a story. It’s a story of late nights in Neilson, friends made in houses, Mountain Day surprises, and a community that stays with you long after graduation. Now, your favorite Smith College sweater can tell one more story: opening doors for the next generation of Smithies.

Why Your Smith Sweater Matters

As a proud Smith alumna and grateful recipient of financial aid, our founder knows firsthand how transformative scholarship support can be. Alumknits exists because Smith made college possible — and this is our way of knitting that generosity forward.

That’s why a portion of every Smith College sweater sale is donated to Smith’s General Scholarship Aid Fund, helping ensure that cost is never the reason a talented student can’t say “yes” to Smith.

How Your Purchase Supports Smith Students

We keep it simple and transparent:

  • You choose your sweater.
    Select your favorite Smith College design, color, and custom details from Alumknits.
  • We donate a portion of the sale.
    For every Smith sweater purchased, Alumknits donates a portion of the proceeds to Smith’s General Scholarship Aid Fund.

Together, we fuel opportunity.

Your cozy, custom Smith sweater becomes a small but meaningful part of a larger effort to support access, equity, and opportunity at Smith.

Each season, Alumknits donates a portion of Smith sweater sales in a single gift to Smith’s General Scholarship Aid Fund.
