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 umwgift@umw.edu.
