To implement the Middlebury Initiative, we need to raise $500 million over the next five years.
Bold dreams cannot be realized without significant resources. To implement the Middlebury Initiative, the College seeks to raise $500 million over a five-year period. To reach that goal will require gifts of all sizes and the participation of all alumni and parents through major gifts, planned gifts, and the Annual Fund.
There have been many occasions in Middlebury’s history when the continued success of the College depended on the foresight and dedication of visionary people who faced the challenges of a changing world and seized the opportunities that change presents. Indeed the College would not exist today without the vision and generous support of alumni and friends dating back to Gamaliel Painter, who helped to found the College and laid its financial foundation with his bequest in 1819. Philanthropy has played a major role in the development of the College ever since.
Today, it is up to us. We must secure the resources Middlebury needs to evolve to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities this century presents. In doing so, we will define the global liberal arts college for the 21st century.
