Since Deerfield’s return to coeducation in 1989, alumnae have helped define the strength, spirit, and future of the Academy. Today, Deerfield women represent a powerful and growing network of leaders, professionals, mentors, and volunteers. Now, a new initiative invites them to come together through philanthropy and connection in support of the $500 million Be Worthy campaign.
Nearly 40 years after coeducation began, the trailblazing women of that era are established leaders in their fields and communities, yet women remain underrepresented among Deerfield’s leadership donors. The Women’s Leadership Circle is designed to change that, honoring the women who shaped Deerfield’s coeducational story while ensuring women are fully represented in its future.
By 2030, Deerfield seeks to engage 100 founding members and raise $5 million in support of Be Worthy. Founding members make a leadership commitment of $50,000 or more, payable over up to five years.
