Philanthropy at Wellesley
The Wellesley circle of philanthropic support comprises groups of generous donors from a range of communities who commit to gifts that support Wellesley’s mission in a variety of meaningful ways. We are proud of this broad support, and we invite you to explore just a few of the ways you, too, might join the circle.
Alumnae gifts are a meaningful way to honor the friendships, learning, and community that made up your unique experience at Wellesley.
Our Friends provide vital support to several student organizations, from arts to athletics.
Parents and families recognize the daily and lifelong benefits of a Wellesley education.
The College benefits tremendously from both corporate and philanthropic gifts.
