Early Impact Challenge |
| Fundraising is off to an outstanding start this year. Total new commitments, gifts and estate intentions since July 1, 2021, exceed $15.4 million, which is more than 50% above our average for the first half of the year and surpasses the amount raised in the first half of 2015, the final year of W&L's last capital campaign. |
| If you have not yet made a gift, please consider contributing to the Early Impact Challenge that ends Dec. 31. Your gift to the Annual Fund helps make exceptional academic and extracurricular programming available for students into the new year. |
