About


On 1799 Day, we invite Westonians around the world to celebrate our community and support the school's most urgent needs with a gift to the Westtown Fund. Our goal on 1799 Day is to raise $200,000 in 24 hours. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us reach our goal in support of Westtown!

Gifts to the Westtown Fund provide critical resources for our students, faculty, staff, and community, including financial aid, innovative student programs, and professional development. The Westtown Fund is an essential source of revenue, providing 5% of our operating budget. Gifts to the Westtown Fund impact every student, every day.

We have raised $956,815 of our ambitious $1.5M goal for the Westtown Fund this year, and we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of generosity from Westtown parents, alums, parents of alums, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends.

As you reflect on your unique Westtown experience, I invite you to make a gift to honor it or a person at Westtown who made your time with us special. Every gift makes a difference, so we hope we can count on you.


Here's how you can support Westtown on 1799 Day:

1) Make a gift - Every gift counts, no matter the size! You can even set up a custom gift match or challenge gift on this page!
