Wilson Fund Faculty and Staff Giving


Every day members of the Wilson family make decisions to make our campus a better community…a better place through our teaching, learning, and caring.

We understand that giving is a personal decision and our individual reasons for contributing are many; however, we have at least one common purpose – to support the reason we are all here – our future – the students. Because we work and learn here and we are invested in the success of the College, we know first-hand how our gifts can make a difference in the lives of those we touch.

Strong giving by our faculty and staff demonstrates to external donors that those who work closely with our students model the giving behavior we would like our alumnae/i and friends to emulate.

I ask you to consider making a gift in any amount to Wilson College, and if you are able, to join us as members of the Pines and Maples Society (giving at $1,000 and higher from July 1 – June 30.)  You can make a larger gift over time by utilizing payroll deduction.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.
