Your gift tells your Westminster story.
Forty percent of our students currently receive financial aid. Gifts to financial aid benefit not only the recipients, but the entire Westminster community, by preserving the distinct voices and unique perspectives that are essential to sustaining our mission.
At the heart of the Westminster experience are the remarkable educators dedicated to each student’s personal and academic growth. Gifts to faculty support enable us to recruit, retain, and develop the educators who guide our community.
When you invest in Westminster athletics, you help to keep our athletics program competitive within the highly competitive Founders League, and ensure that students continue to form lifelong friendships, build character, and learn leadership skills that extend far beyond their years at Westminster.
From Dramat and music to drawing and sculpture, your support of the arts helps to foster an environment that celebrates creativity and provides students with the skills and confidence to express themselves authentically and powerfully throughout their lives.
