The Young Alumni Challenge is a place for the most recent grads of UMW (classes of the last ten years), to express their gratitude by giving back and to pay it forward for future generations of Eagles.

The Fund for Mary Washington counts on our youngest alumni to give back to current students, just like they did for you.

Your gift to the Fund for Mary Washington is important. Why? Because gifts of all sizes add up. That’s how an annual fund works! It takes thousands of donors giving what they can to help UMW cover the many costs that simply aren’t met by tuition and other sources of revenue.

This year our goal is to reach 10% participation among our young alumni. That means we need 1,078 graduates from 2013-2022 to make a gift this fiscal year (July 1, 2022- June 30, 2023). Will you help us reach 10%?

All gifts, regardless of size or designation, help positively impact our students, faculty, and programs.
