Give to Washington College
The Office of College Advancement builds and secures external funding, volunteer assistance, and good will to help the President, Board of Visitors and Governors, faculty, staff and students implement the mission of Washington College.
The Washington Fund provides the College with the flexibility to meet our most pressing needs and respond to new opportunities while generating budget-relieving revenue in support of scholarships for worthy students, faculty scholarship and research, and campus beautification.
The 1782 Society
The 1782 Society is the college's premier giving recognition society, with five annual gift levels ranging from $1,500 to $25,000 or more. Unrestricted gifts at The 1782 Society levels support The Washington Fund. Restricted gifts at these levels also qualify donors for 1782 membership.
The George Washington Society
The George Washington Society honors those enlightened alumni and friends whose gifts through will, bequest intention, or other planned giving arrangements help ensure the long-range support of those ideas and values that constitute the Washington College experience.
Ways to Give
