What is the 1784-Minute Challenge? The 1784-Minute Challenge is a once-a-year event dedicated to raising resources for the Moses Brown Fund. It's a day when our community comes together to support the school's mission and ensure we can continue to provide our students with the best educational experience.
Starting at 6 a.m. on September 23, and continuing until 12:58 p.m. on September 24, the Challenge invites the entire MB community to unite in celebrating Moses Brown School and showing our lasting commitment to educational excellence by contributing to the Moses Brown Fund.
What is the Moses Brown Fund? The Moses Brown Fund is more than just our annual fund—it's a vital partnership that empowers every student. Annually, over 1,000 donors contribute, driving innovation, teaching excellence, and enriching the student experience.
Last year, these contributions totaled $950,000, directly enhancing MB’s programs and opportunities beyond what tuition alone can support. Your gift helps us achieve more for our students!
