UPDATE: We are thrilled to see all of the love for UMW, our students, and these totes! ALL TOTES 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 tote for your gift, you will have our deepest gratitude.
Now through September 30, make a gift of $35 or more to the Fund for Mary Washington and we'll send you this one-of-a-kind tote bag so you can take Mary Wash with you wherever you go.
Donors' recent gifts to the Fund for Mary Washington have helped us make strides across campus, including technology upgrades, accessibility improvements, new student support, and programs for civic engagement and student health. Gifts to the Fund also translate to scholarships, small class sizes, and reduced student debt.
We can't wait to see you out and about with your new tote---our way of saying thank you for supporting UMW students. Use #totesUMW and tag @umw_alumni so we can see your posts, or email us your photos at umwgift@umw.edu.
