The University of Mary Washington closed the books June 30 on its most successful fundraising year to date, with $21,362,093 in gifts and pledges \u2013 more than triple last year\u2019s number \u2013 made during the 2022-23 fiscal year to enhance the UMW student experience.<\/p>\n

The University of Mary Washington announces its most successful fundraising year to date, with $21.3 million raised in 2022-23 to support UMW students, programs, faculty and staff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Private support from 4,829 generous donors, more than half of whom are alumni, helped Mary Washington continue its commitment to providing students with an outstanding public liberal arts and sciences education filled with impactful learning opportunities. Gifts benefited 301 areas across the University, including academics, arts, athletics, service and leadership initiatives, career services and cultural programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so grateful to the many new and longtime supporters across the UMW community, and I am thrilled to thank them all for our most successful fiscal year ever,\u201d said President Troy Paino. \u201cOur alumni, friends, families, students, faculty and staff give generously and invest in this institution. These funds will be a critical piece of our ongoing efforts to recruit, retain and graduate successful Mary Washington students.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s grand total was bolstered by a portion of a transformational $30 million gift<\/a> from alumna Irene Piscopo Rodgers \u201959, who passed away in July 2022, leaving the largest donation in Mary Washington\u2019s 115-year history. Rodgers\u2019 gift, which will be paid out over multiple years, exponentially grows UMW\u2019s undergraduate research program in the sciences. The gift also creates four new Alvey Scholarships, providing full tuition, fees, and room and board for out-of-state students for up to four years, adding to the eight already created by Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Making a UMW education accessible and affordable remains a major priority at Mary Washington, with 790 scholarships and awards, totaling more than $2.1 million, given to 550 students in this fiscal year. Fifteen scholarships were awarded for the first time, including the Class of 1966 Scholarship and the Class of 1973 50th Reunion Scholarship, which illustrate the investment alumni continue to make in their alma mater and its students. Five incoming students<\/a> have been awarded full-ride Alvey or Washington scholarships (for in-state students) for the coming academic year.<\/p>\n

Recently recognized<\/a> as a \u201cTop Employer for Interns\u201d by the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership, the University announced<\/a> in April the William H. Leighty \u201978 and Martha Kearns Leighty \u201975 Fellows Program. The couple, who are both former Board of Visitors members (Bill also served as chief of staff to two Virginia governors), made a $100,000 philanthropic commitment to the program to support UMW juniors and seniors in pursuit of public service internships in the commonwealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s success is due to the dedicated alumni, friends, families, students, faculty and staff who make the University of Mary Washington a priority in their philanthropic giving,\u201d said Vice President for Advancement Katie Turcotte. \u201cWe are deeply grateful for the generosity of every donor and for their devotion to supporting UMW students, programs, faculty and staff.\u201d Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
