George Washington made the first philanthropic gift to then Liberty Academy to save the struggling school. Since then, thousands of individuals over the generations - people just like you - have given gifts because they loved W&L, they believed in W&L, and they wanted to make sure it continued.

Today when you give, your gift does more than keep the school going. Your gift helps keep W&L at the forefront of liberal arts in our nation. Learn more about W&L's top fundraising priorities.
