Giving

The Westminster Fund

Lead with Passion.Give with Purpose.

Every Westminster story is different.
A Westminster story may begin with a teacher who inspires a lifelong interest, a coach who builds confidence, a memorable performance on stage, a meaningful Chapel talk, or a lifelong friendship that began at a family-style meal. These experiences remain with students long after they leave Williams Hill.

Giving to The Westminster Fund honors what Westminster means to you, while helping current and future Martlets create stories of their own.

The Westminster Fund provides essential annual support for the people, programs, and experiences that define the school. Gifts are put to work during the current year and help Westminster respond to immediate priorities and opportunities.

You choose whether your gift supports Financial Aid, Faculty Support, Athletics, the Arts, or the Area of Greatest Need. Regardless of their size or focus, all gifts to The Westminster Fund strengthen the close relationships and full student experience that distinguish a Westminster education.

Your Gift Helps Write the Next Westminster Story

List of 5 items.

  • Financial Aid

    Financial aid expands access to Westminster and brings together students with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Your support helps talented young people participate fully in the academic, residential, and co-curricular life of the school.
  • Faculty Support

    Westminster faculty teach, coach, advise, mentor, and share fully in the life of the school. Gifts to Faculty Support help Westminster attract, retain, and develop exceptional educators who know their students well and challenge them to grow.
  • Athletics

    Athletics teach teamwork, resilience, leadership, and accountability. Your support provides student-athletes with strong coaching, meaningful competition, and opportunities to grow on and off the field, rink, court, and track.
  • Arts

    The arts invite students to take creative risks, develop their talents, and discover new forms of expression. Your support strengthens opportunities in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts.
  • Area of Greatest Need

    A gift to the Area of Greatest Need gives Westminster the flexibility to direct resources where they will have the greatest immediate impact. This support allows the school to respond to emerging priorities and opportunities throughout the year.

A Westminster Story

The strength of Westminster's faculty, the richness of its programs, and the connections formed within the community shape students’ lives in lasting ways.

Hear from Lydia Marshall ’95 P’25 and science faculty member Greg Marco P’08, ’11 as they reflect on the relationships, opportunities, and experiences that make Westminster extraordinary.

The Westminster Fund closes each year on June 30. Gifts of every size make a difference, and participation at every level sends a powerful message of belief in Westminster’s mission and future.

Thank you for leading with passion, giving with purpose, and helping the next generation of Martlets write their Westminster stories.
