Giving to Walsingham Academy
Walsingham Academy’s Tradition of Giving
For over 75 years, generations of students have benefited from the generosity of parents, trustees, alumni, faculty, staff, and the Williamsburg community who have made Walsingham Academy’s mission possible. Every gift—whether of time, talent, or treasure—creates meaningful opportunities for our students and strengthens the foundation of excellence that defines our Academy. Together, we can shape a brighter future.
Annual Fund for Excellence
As a vital priority for the Academy, the Annual Fund can be put into action immediately, fueling educational excellence, supporting faculty professional development, providing tuition assistance, and enhancing programs in the arts, technology, and athletics. It also offers flexibility to address unforeseen needs and makes it possible for our students to have new, enriching experiences.
Planned Giving
By including Walsingham in your will, trust, or other beneficiary designation, you will be creating a brighter future for generations to come. Gifts can be designated where the need is greatest or for a specific endowment or program. Either way, you will be supporting a tradition of excellence in education that’s grounded in faith, compassion, and service.
Sister Mary Jeanne Oesterle Endowment Fund
The Sister Mary Jeanne Oesterle Endowment Fund for Student Excellence serves as a lasting tribute to Sister Mary Jeanne's outstanding service and leadership as a Mercy educator and a testament to the accomplishments the school continues to achieve under her leadership. Gifts to this endowment help provide long-term financial stability for the school. The principal value of the fund is preserved while a percentage of earned income is spent on immediate needs each year.
