Giving to Wellesley

Wellesley students engage in lively discourse on the library steps.

Non Ministrari sed Ministrare.

Your gift empowers Wellesley to meet our mission.

Every gift to Wellesley College has real impact, supporting the students of today and the leaders of tomorrow.  

More than ever before, we need the voices of Wellesley alumnae—thoughtful, informed, resilient, innovative, passionate, and compassionate—to speak to the challenges of our time. We deeply value your support of Wellesley’s mission. Your generosity allows us to minister to future generations of Wellesley scholars, students who, like you, strive to—and do—make a difference in the world.
