Violets Give Back 2027!

Violets Give Back: Investing in Our Legacy, Empowering Our Future

Join us in building early momentum for the Marlborough Fund. Make Your Gift or Pledge before Giving Tuesday on December 1!

A Tradition of Giving Back

Whether you walked the halls five years ago or fifty, an invisible thread ties every Marlborough student to the extraordinary legacy of alumnae who paved the way. Violets Give Back is our annual tradition of honoring the community that built us and paying it forward to the girls following in our footsteps.

When you support the Marlborough Fund, you are doing more than making a gift—you are showing current students that an entire network of remarkable alumnae stands firmly behind them.

⚡ Early Momentum Matters! When you give or pledge before December 1, you help spark energy across our entire community and give Marlborough the resources to plan more strategically for the year ahead.

Why Your Gift Matters: Bridging the 20% Gap

Did you know that tuition only covers about 80% of what it takes to provide the full Marlborough experience? Generous gifts from alumnae help bridge that crucial 20% gap, powering:

• Financial Aid, ensuring the talented students who deserve to be here, can attend;
• Exceptional Faculty who challenge students to think deeply and speak confidently;
• Transformative Signature Programs and cutting-edge resources.

Every gift—no matter the size—makes an immediate, tangible impact. When Violets give back, we ensure Marlborough remains a space where girls are truly known and prepared to lead.

Why We Give Back

Our greatest asset has always been each other. This was true when we were students, and it remains true today. When we give, we choose to invest in the community, relationships, and values that shaped our lives. Your participation sends a powerful message directly to current students: We believe in you, we believe in Marlborough, and we are committed to your success.

Why Give or Pledge Before December 1 (Giving Tuesday)?

Giving Tuesday (December 1) is our moment to celebrate YOU and the strength of our global alumnae network! Making your gift or pledge early in the school year is one of the most effective ways to champion our students:

1. Maximum Flexibility—Pledge Now, Pay Later: You don't have to pay today to make an impact now! Making a pledge before December 1 locks in your support today while giving you until June 30 to complete your gift.
2. Be Celebrated on Giving Tuesday: Make your gift or pledge before December 1 so we can shine a spotlight on your generosity during our campus-wide Giving Tuesday celebration!
3. Immediate Campus Impact: Early funding allows Marlborough’s teachers and program leaders to plan confidently and launch dynamic programming without delay.
4. 2026 Tax Benefits: Gifts completed before December 31 allow you to maximize your tax-deductible charitable contributions for the 2026 tax year.
