Together for Wellesley

The spread of COVID-19 has upended our sense of security in the very deepest sense—we are concerned about our own health and the health of those we love, and we worry about our jobs and our economic futures. Wellesley, too, has been impacted by the ripple effects of this pandemic.

You may wonder why Wellesley needs our help. Significant costs associated with transitioning to remote instruction, combined with decreased revenues as a result of room and board refunds and the cancellation of summer programs, have left Wellesley with a $5 million to $6 million deficit in this year’s operating budget. This deficit is likely to be compounded by projected declines in returns on the endowment and in philanthropy.

Wellesley is unwavering in its dedication to support its students—but to accomplish this, Wellesley needs our help. If you are able, your gift to the College supports the next generation of Wellesley leaders, who will take on the challenges of tomorrow.

Together, we can make a difference—for Wellesley, and for the students who need us now.

In addition to making a gift, you can help support Wellesley by telling your friends and community members about Together for Wellesley. Visit our Social Media Toolkit to get started.
