2024 Alumni Giving Challenge

UPDATE: Alumni Giving Challenge Extended!

We’re almost there! We only need 10 more donors to meet our goal!

That’s why we’re extending the Alumni Challenge by 48 hours. Will you be the Griffin that helps us meet – or even exceed - 124 alumni contributions? As a reminder, you’ll score a “For the Love of Buckley T-Shirt, and a chance to win fun raffle prizes and a new Series 10 Apple Watch!

What is the 2024 Alumni Giving Challenge?

Every Founder's Day, we call on you, our Griffin community, to make a gift to The Buckley Fund during our 3-Day Alumni Giving Challenge. This year, our giving challenge launches Friday, October 4, and runs through October 6 (midnight to midnight), with the goal of 124 donors in honor of Dr. Isabelle Buckley's 124th birthday. Friday, October 4 is Founder's Day. For the love of your school, your teachers, and your alumni community, we ask you to join the challenge, make a gift, and spread the word to your fellow Griffins!

What Does My Gift Support?

Like all independent schools, Buckley relies on financial contributions every year from Trustees, current families, faculty and staff, and alumni. The Buckley Fund is the only fundraising initiative allowing the school to invest in mission-critical programs and talented faculty and staff that are at the heart of our students' Buckley experience.Your participation gift plays an integral part in propelling the school forward in 3 critical ways:

• Provides students with inspirational experiences and opportunities.
• Supports recruitment and retention of the very best teachers.
• Fuels a robust variety of alumni programming for connection, learning, and growth.
