Deerfield is excited to announce an extraordinary commitment in support of faculty endowment, one that will help advance the Academy’s goal of raising $100 million for faculty through the Be Worthy campaign. Anonymous donors, who are past parents, have made a gift of $10 million to support this vital priority and inspire others to join them.
As part of this remarkable commitment, the donors will match all new gifts and pledges of $250,000 to $1 million, up to a total of $10 million, effectively doubling the impact of each contribution. For donors who establish their own named fund, the matching dollars will be added directly to that fund, doubling its size and long-term impact.
At Deerfield, great teaching extends far beyond the classroom. Faculty mentor, coach, advise, and help students develop the habits of mind and character that prepare them to lead across difference. This unique opportunity will help Deerfield sustain its ability to recruit and retain the next generation of extraordinary teachers, whose talent, mentorship, and dedication are at the heart of the student experience. We are deeply grateful for this visionary generosity and for the opportunity it creates for others to invest in Deerfield’s future.
This opportunity will only last until June 30, 2027.
