Bryn Mawr, Beyond:

Imagining Tomorrow is an ambitious $25 million campaign to shape the school for generations to come.

Bryn Mawr has always been more than a school; it is a promise to every girl that she will lead a life of consequence. To keep that promise, we must look beyond today. Just as previous generations gave generously and loyally, it is now our turn to be bold, to be intentional, and to light the way for the girls who follow.

Your support will make Bryn Mawr’s future even brighter.

Now is the time to
take Bryn Mawr Beyond.

"Seeing my daughter explore her interests with a sense of self-confidence and determination that will undoubtedly take her far in life is what truly inspired me to lead this campaign. The students here are incredibly bright and talented, and the faculty is dedicated to providing the best possible classroom experience. They deserve exceptional spaces, like the new Upper School building, to match the exceptional work they do every day. This belief is why our family decided to make our most significant philanthropic commitment to date, a gift larger than all our previous charitable contributions combined."

"The rigorous education I received created a clear through-line to my career in academia, but more importantly, it instilled in me a lifelong belief in the power of women. This campaign energized me to take my giving to its highest level yet because I want to ensure that future generations of girls have the same confidence and the same gift of lifelong friendships that I have cherished for decades. It is time for our students to learn in an environment that matches their talent. I am inspired to turn what we value about Bryn Mawr into tangible support, replacing the outdated with the exceptional."

The Caryatid Giving Society

In honor of Bryn Mawr School’s 140th Anniversary, a group of dedicated alumnae set an ambitious goal to recruit 40 Bryn Mawr women to make gifts of $100,000 or more in support of the Bryn Mawr, Beyond Campaign. These women are lifting up future generations, just as the Caryatids do, by sustaining the values and spirit of Bryn Mawr for decades to come.
