Learn more About the School's landmark campaign

Sidwell Friends School has launched its largest campaign in the School’s history. Together We Shine is a $152 million fundraising campaign to renovate the Upton Street Campus to serve as the future site of our Upper School, to increase our Endowment for faculty compensation and student financial aid, and to strengthen our annual operating support of The Sidwell Friends Fund.  Thanks to the generosity of thousands of donors, the School already has raised more than $123 million - 81% of its goal. The campaign publicly launched during Homecoming 2022, and it will conclude in June 2024.

Several committees representing various constituencies have formed to serve as ambassadors on behalf of the School. The Parent and Grandparent Committee, led by Charis Menschel Drant P’25, ’27, ’29, is working in partnership with the Advancement Team to develop engaging opportunities to learn more about the School and its future plans as well as encourage philanthropic support.
