Nearly two years ago, Sidwell Friends announced the public launch of our landmark fundraising campaign: Together We Shine. Our ambitious goal: $152 million.
We are pleased to announce that thanks to our community of generous donors, the campaign raised $158.9 million by the June 30, 2024 deadline—nearly triple the amount of the School’s previous campaign.
The success of “Together We Shine” lived up to its name with nearly 30,000 individual gifts, underscoring the Sidwell community’s deep commitment to the School’s vision and future. Together, alumni, current past parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and other supporters have committed to help Sidwell Friends continue to prepare the next generation of students with the knowledge, the courage, the conviction, and the relationships necessary to create the change we all need.
Through this campaign, we will:
