Leadership Giving Committee
The Alumni Leadership Giving Committee is a group of dedicated alumni leadership donors who both support the School at a leadership level and encourage fellow alumni to join them as leadership donors.
The Sidwell Friends Annual Fund relies on a strong tradition of leadership giving to support financial aid and scholarships, academic and faculty resources, and campus life initiatives that keep Sidwell Friends unique and vibrant.
Gifts to the Annual Fund at or above the leadership level ($1,883 or more) make up a very significant proportion of giving totals.
Leadership gifts in support of the School’s key priorities (financial aid and faculty support) have the power to transform the Sidwell Friends experience for everyone in our community. They provide for Sidwell Friends today and will allow the School to thrive in the future.
