What if I can't give a larger gift? Should I still donate?
Yes! The vast majority of gifts to the Giving Tuesday Campaign are $100 and less! Every gift counts and makes an impact.
To show our appreciation during this campaign, anyone who gives a gift of any size will be entered into a drawing to win a 7” by 14” personalized paver for Alumni Courtyard at the North Quad.
What are "Giving Days"?
This year, we are hosting two “Giving Days” to build momentum around two areas of giving.
During the student giving day, the class with the highest participation will win a $5 Gemini Bakery gift card for EACH member of the class.
During the family giving day, the class that has the highest participation will win an ice cream social for the class!
Current Student Giving Day Challenge: Tuesday, November 18th
Current Families Giving Day Challenge: Wednesday, November 19th
We hope these special days will inspire many gifts!
400 donors seems like a stretch. Can we hit that goal this year?
With your help, we can! Please share this campaign with your networks and inspire others to give.
What is the Alumni Courtyard at the North Quad?
The area between Hanscom Hall and Bingham Hall, called the North Quad, underwent a major facelift in the summer of 2024. It was transformed into a amphitheater and outdoor classroom, complete with a courtyard- named Alumni Courtyard. In this courtyard, there are personalized pavers of many shapes and sizes. Please see this webpage for more information.
What if I want to buy multiple pavers through this campaign? Do I need to make multiple donations?
Thank you for your interest in purchasing multiple pavers! If you would like to purchase multiple pavers with the same donation, please enter a custom donation amount for the entire total. Then send an email to [email protected] with specific details about the number, size, and inscriptions.
I am filling out my paver inscription and I can't add line breaks. What do I do?
When filling out the form for the paver inscription, you will not be able to indicate line breaks. Please type the full text on one line. We will contact you with a proof to approve before the stones are personalized.
