A Shining Year
2023/24 Report on Philanthropy
Message from the
Head of School
Thank you for your generous support during the 2023/2024 academic year. We are delighted to share this year’s Report on Philanthropy, which honors your contributions and celebrates the landmark success of the Together We Shine campaign.
This year made
all the difference.
Thanks to the success of the Together We Shine campaign, Sidwell Friends has broken ground on the new Upper School, moving the School one step closer to unifying the campus and transforming student learning for the future.
The Sidwell Friends Endowment now stands at more than $80 million, which fuels the School’s mission, supports financial aid, faculty positions, and long-term sustainability.
The Together We Shine campaign has initiated the Center for Ethical Leadership and the Center for Teaching and Learning, reimagining education and civic engagement at Sidwell Friends.
Movers and Quakers host dinners nationwide, introducing recent graduates to the Sidwell Friends Alumni Network and helping them build lifelong connections.
Over 80 alumni gathered to watch Josh Hart ’13 and Saddiq Bey ’18 face off in an exciting Knicks vs. Hawks NBA game, celebrating school spirit and camaraderie.
