About

More than 1,800 alumni, students, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends made gifts to The Governor’s Academy last year. Many donors support the school as a means of giving back to a place that has given them so much. Others wish to honor a beloved faculty member, celebrate a milestone, or invest in the Academy’s promising future.

Whatever the reason, gifts to The Governor’s Fund reach all corners of our campus and support nearly every aspect of daily life at Govs. Your philanthropic support helps underwrite 10% of the Academy’s operating budget and benefits faculty, financial aid, academic programs, the arts, athletics, community service, student leadership, and maintaining and improving our beautiful, historic campus.

Thank you for considering a gift to Govs. Your support will provide critical funds necessary to attract bright, talented, and ambitious young people who will thrive here and become leaders in a rapidly changing world.
