Wilson Fund

The Wilson Fund, the College’s annual fund, has long been the place where alumnae, alumni, parents, friends, and students demonstrate their commitment and support of the institution through their yearly gifts.

The Wilson Fund and unrestricted giving are essential to Wilson’s financial health. For six consecutive years—the Wilson Fund has surpassed $1 million annually, marking a historic achievement for the College. This success is a testament to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our Advancement team.

Unrestricted Wilson Fund gifts empower Wilson to respond to needs as they arise and direct resources where they’re needed most. They help us balance the budget, maintain financial equilibrium, and continue offering a high-quality education that remains affordable and accessible—often at a lower cost than regional public institutions.

These flexible funds allow the College to:

• Cover unexpected expenses and operational shortfalls.
• Reduce the draw on the College’s endowment, helping protect its principal for future generations.
• Address deferred maintenance and evolving campus needs.
• Keep tuition competitive, to ensure affordability for students.

Donors can support the College through these Wilson Fund categories:

• Academic Excellence and Faculty Support
• Animal-Related Program
• Athletics
• Campus Beautification and Facility Renewal
• Scholarships
• The Arts at Wilson
• Unrestricted
