Now through June 16, 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 or duffel bag-your choice, so you can take Mary Wash with you wherever you go. This is the perfect gift for the mom, dad, or grad in your life!
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.
