About


On April 3, we're inviting the entire Wyndcroft community to come together for “One Short Day” to make a difference for our faculty and students because...there’s no place like Wyndcroft!

How can I participate? Make a gift to The Wyndcroft Fund - your participation is what matters for WhirlWynd! Our goal is 300 donors in 24 hours. 

Your gift goes further today than any other day of the year - the Wyndcroft Board of Trustees is matching every dollar donated today, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. The more you give, the more the Board gives!

Why does participation matter? Participation is a key element of the Wyndcroft experience. You see it on the playing field, on stage, and in the classroom. Our students shine in areas where they might not have ever dreamed they could — simply because they were offered the chance to participate. It's no surprise then that Wyndcroft graduates go on to become class presidents, captains of their teams, and leads in plays in college. Quite simply, we are blown away by our students!

These opportunities for self-discovery are made possible by the Wyndcroft Fund. It provides the financial resources that help our students pursue their passions, expand their understanding of the world, and discover a wealth of positive new experiences every day.

Today we're inviting our entire Wyndcroft community to celebrate the power of Non Sibi. When you become a WhirlWynd donor today, you are setting a remarkable example for our students, showing them the power, possibility and joy of giving to something bigger than oneself.
