March4MHC 2025

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who rose to the challenge for the sixth annual March4MHC Challenge. This year, we reached an incredible milestone — surpassing our bold goal with 5,028 alums, family members, friends, faculty, staff and students rallying from all corners of the globe. Thanks to the generosity of our anonymous champions, we unlocked $500,000 in challenge funds, raising over $2.4 million for The Mount Holyoke Fund. Your support fuels scholarships, academic excellence, and the boundless opportunities that define Mount Holyoke. This proves what we already know — when we come together, we move MHC forward.

With some late-breaking adjustments, we are excited to announce that we have officially surpassed our bold goal of 5,000 donors, making this our most successful March4MHC ever! Thank you to the thousands of alums, faculty, staff, students, families and friends of the College who helped us achieve this tremendous milestone and earn the full $500,000 in challenge funds from our anonymous donors!

What an amazing March4MHC this has been. Thousands of community members gathered together to raise over $2.2 million in support of Mount Holyoke students.

Offline gifts have been added and are reflected in our totals at the top of the page. Final results and class updates will be shared once all gifts have been processed.
