The Senior Class Gift is your chance to pay it forward and help create opportunities for future students to walk across the stage – just like you! [[Amount Raised]] raised from 0 donors. Be part of the Senior Class Gift and leave your mark on Mary Washington. This is your chance to give back to the place that shaped your journey—and to help ensure future Eagles have the same transformative experiences. Whether your gift is $7, $27, or $107, what matters most is participation. Every donor who gives brings us closer to our goal of 7% participation for the Class of 2027 and makes an immediate difference for UMW students. You choose where your gift goes: your academic department, your team, your scholarship, or student life. You can even make your gift in honor of a professor, coach, roommate, or friend who made your Mary Wash experience unforgettable. Every gift—no matter the size—adds up to lasting impact. This year, we’re especially championing the <a href="https://giving.umw.edu/areas-for-support/fundformw/">Fund for Mary Washington</a>. As UMW’s unrestricted fund, gifts to the Fund fuel the very best of the Mary Wash experience: scholarships that ease financial burdens, small class sizes that allow close mentorship, and hands-on opportunities that prepare students for life after graduation. Last year, the Fund made possible:<ul><li>A first-year success workshop to launch new students with confidence</li><li>Technology upgrades and accessibility improvements that keep learning innovative and inclusive</li><li>Passport grants that gave students the chance to travel abroad for the very first time</li><li>Vibrant art, health, and wellness initiatives that strengthened our campus community</li></ul> Together, the Class of 2027 can carry on UMW's tradition of generosity, opportunity, and pride. Join us in making your Senior Class Gift and help open doors for Eagles today—and for years to come.

It Takes A Village: Monroe Hall

By University of Mary Washington

None

Update: We are thrilled to see all of the love for UMW, our students, and these wooden replicas! ALL MONROE REPLICAS HAVE NOW BEEN CLAIMED, but we are still gratefully accepting gifts through this site. Your gift to the Fund for Mary Washington will help provide scholarships, support faculty, and improve the student experience across campus. Although you will not receive a wooden replica for your gift, you will have our deepest gratitude. Now through September 30, make a gift of $25 or more to the Fund for Mary Washington, and we'll send you a one-of-a-kind wooden replica of Monroe Hall, designed by The Cat's Meow Wooden Village. Turn it over and you'll find a bit of the building's history right on the back. This is just the beginning. Each fall, we'll feature a new campus building, so your gift today becomes the first piece in your own Mary Washington village. Claim yours today and vote for next year's building too! Recent gifts to the Fund for Mary Washington have fueled bold campus initiatives that expand career-readiness opportunities, enhance preservation efforts, fund original research, and sharpen the leadership skills that prepare students for life after Mary Washington. We can't wait to see where your piece of Mary Washington finds a home. It's our way of saying thank you for showing up for UMW students. Use #UMWvillage and tag @umw_alumni so we can see your posts, or email us your photos at <a href="mailto:umwgift@umw.edu">umwgift@umw.edu</a>. FAQ Is there a minimum gift amount? Yes.
