Yes! The vast majority of gifts to the Giving Tuesday Campaign are $100 and less! Every gift counts and makes an impact. To show our appreciation during this campaign, anyone who gives a gift of any size will be entered into a drawing to win a personalized paver for Alumni Courtyard at the North Quad. ($500 value)

This year, we are hosting three “Giving Days” to build momentum around three areas of giving. On each day, any donor in their respective group who gives will be entered into a raffle to win prizes- including the grand prize of a personalized paver on the Alumni Courtyard on the North Quad. During the student and family giving day, the classes that have the highest participation will win an ice cream social for the class!

Current Student Giving Day Challenge: Wednesday, November 15th.

Employee Giving Day Challenge: Thursday, November 16th

Current Families Giving Day Challenge: Friday, November 17th

We hope these three special days will inspire many gifts!

With your help, we can! Please share this campaign with your networks and inspire others to give.

Gould Academy is undergoing a major transformation in the Summer of 2024 and we want you to be part of it! The area between Hanscom Hall and Bingham Hall, called the North Quad, is getting a major facelift. It will be transformed into a amphitheater and outdoor classroom, complete with a courtyard- named Alumni Courtyard. In this courtyard, there will be pavers of many shapes and sizes. We are looking to allow all Gouldies to “Make Their Mark” on the new space by personalizing pavers. Please see this webpage for more information.
