Each October, the WIS community comes together for Giving Days, three days dedicated to the Annual Fund, our school’s top philanthropic priority. Now in its ninth year, Giving Days brings parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends from both campuses into a shared expression of partnership and belief in this school.
Since 2018, this community has raised more than $1.6 million through Giving Days. This year, a group of generous families has pledged a $100,000 match, unlocked when 400 members of our community give between October 21 and 23. Every gift, at every level, strengthens what makes WIS extraordinary and helps ensure it remains accessible to students from a wide range of backgrounds.
Questions? Contact Walker Konkle, Director of the Annual Fund, at [email protected] or 202.243.1693.
