Continuity
The Leading Lives of Consequence campaign will significantly bolster the W&L Fund, allowing the university to remain agile and react quickly when immediate needs arise.
The W&L Fund
Supporting the W&L Fund has the most direct and positive impact on the student experience at Washington and Lee. Gifts bolster the university’s financial aid budget, ensuring that deserving students can access our exceptional education; strengthen our arts and athletics offerings; and fund life-changing opportunities for students to put their learning into action—from internships and research opportunities to eye-opening study abroad experiences. Every dollar helps cultivate a thriving campus environment where students of every background are welcomed and celebrated. In short: Without the W&L Fund, there is no Washington and Lee.
That’s why support is critical. Our students’ future depends on the generosity of our community who believe deeply in W&L’s core values of honor, integrity and civility. Contributions to the W&L Fund allow us to provide every student with an education steeped in those principles, while offering opportunities that would otherwise be impossible with tuition revenue alone.
Community members who include the W&L Fund in their philanthropic giving each year can fund the programs that matter to them most or make unrestricted gifts to impact students wherever the need is greatest. The W&L Fund is a reflection of our continued focus on deepening community engagement and enhancing the student experience, elevating W&L’s competitive status, improving the school’s academic and co-curricular offerings, and ensuring that this singular institution will endure for generations to come.
