Calling all Grandparents
Great news! Watershed has been offered a generous matching gift challenge. Anonymous Watershed grandparents will match, dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000, gifts to the capital campaign in support of the new campus that are given by Watershed grandparents (current grandparents or grandparents of alumni), or in honor or memory of a Watershed grandparent.
CHALLENGE PROGRESS
As of May 20, 2024, Watershed has raised $66,817 toward the $100,000 goal! Can you help Watershed reach this goal before June 30, 2024?
WHAT MOTIVATES OUR MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGERS?
“Two of our grandchildren are attending Watershed and we couldn’t be more pleased. Small class sizes and meaningful, supportive connections with their teachers and peers are the main reasons they love Watershed, but the school offers so much more. We’ve seen them grow as students and as people through the real-world learning of expeditionary courses that combine disciplines, the local fieldwork, and the amazing May Term courses they take. We’re excited to support Watershed’s campaign both to strengthen the school for our grandchildren and to ensure that the Watershed experience can be brought to even more students for generations to come. Watershed teaches students to love learning and to apply their learning in the world while maintaining high-level academics.”
WHY IS WATERSHED IN A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN?
Now is the time to invest in Watershed! Our school is ready to move from leasing to owning our own space. We’re ready to grow the student body, and we’re ready to design learning spaces that better support our mission-driven curriculum.
