A Tradition of Giving Back
As Violets, we all have a connection to Marlborough—a place that has profoundly shaped our lives. This connection is the heart of Violets Give Back, our tradition of supporting the school that has given us so much.
When you give to the Marlborough Fund, you're not just making a donation; you're becoming part of a community dedicated to ensuring this unique experience continues for future generations.
Why Your Gift Matters
Did you know that tuition only covers about 80% of the cost to educate a student? The remaining 20%—which provides cutting-edge resources, crucial financial aid, and everything else that makes Marlborough a great school—is only possible through the generosity of our donors. We need your support to make it all happen.
Your contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. By giving back, you help ensure that current and future students receive the full Marlborough experience they deserve, supported by a tradition of alumnae giving back.
Why We Give Back
Every year, our community of Violets comes together to support our alma mater, and each of us has our own reason for giving. For many, it's about celebrating the place that shaped us, where we made lifelong friends and discovered our passions.
Your annual gift is a vote of confidence in the school's legacy and a powerful way to uplift the students who walk our halls today. It's also a way to champion the incredible programming and dedicated people who make it all possible.
Why Give Before December 31?
Making your gift early in the year is a simple way to make a profound difference. Not only does it help our school secure crucial funding right at the start of the year, but it also gives the Advancement Office the resources they need to plan for the rest of the year. Your early support provides timely funding that ensures our students and programs have the support they need without delay. Giving before December 31st also comes with the tax benefit of including your gift in your 2025 donations.
If you've already made your gift, thank you again for your commitment to Marlborough. If you're considering a donation, we invite you to join us by making your annual gift today.
Violets, we need you!
We are officially in the final two weeks of the fiscal year, and we are incredibly close to hitting our major goal for alumnae participation. Our goal this year is to reach 1,035 alumnae donors, proving the power and collective impact of our network.
Right now, we are exactly 312 donors away from crossing that finish line.
Where We Stand Today:
- Current Donors: 723
- Goal: 1,035
- Needed: 312 donors
Why your gift matters right now: In these final days, it’s not about the size of the check—it's about the power of participation. Every single gift, whether it's $5 or $500, counts toward our 1,035-donor goal and directly funds financial aid, campus initiatives, and resources for the next generation of Violets following in your footsteps!
How You Can Help in Next 60 Seconds:
- Become 1 of the 312: If you haven’t made your annual gift yet, now is the moment. Give Today!
- Multiply Your Impact: Check if your employer matches charitable donations. You could double your impact with zero extra cost to you.
- Spread the Word: Share this link with three of your closest classmates. A quick text like, "Hey! Have you given to the Marlborough Fund yet this year? We are so close to our participation goal!" goes a long way.

8 days ago by Natalie MakousWe are so close, Violets! As we watch the Class of 2026 prepare to walk across the graduation stage and join our alumnae community, we are reminded of the powerful legacy that shapes every Marlborough girl. A Marlborough education is rare, bold, and transformative—and it thrives because alumnae like you choose to pay it forward.
Right now, we are in the final 40 days of our fiscal year, and we need your help to cross the finish line by June 30.
Where We Stand Today:
- Our Goal: 1,035 Alumnae Donors
- Current Count: 676 Donors
- Remaining: 359 donors to reach our goal!
Your participation matters. While our faculty and staff bring Marlborough’s signature programs to life, it is your gift and the philanthropic support of this community that provides the vital resources and margin of excellence tuition alone cannot reach.
Every gift, of every size, bridges the gap and ensures today’s Violets can find their voices, explore their passions, and thrive.
Let's show the Class of 2026 what it looks like when Violets Give Back. Please make your gift today!
