The For Every Future campaign launched with an ambitious vision: to raise $600 million and expand the ways Middlebury already excels. This community came together and raised nearly $650 million two years ahead of schedule.
Over 23,000 donors supported this achievement. Gifts provided $190 million for financial aid and opportunity grants, $132 million for faculty and academic programs, $102 million for experiential learning beyond the classroom, and $142 million in unrestricted support.
During this time, more than 82 percent of undergraduate alumni—over 26,000 people—engaged with the College during this time, including nearly 7,500 who reconnected for the first time in years.
All that’s left to say is thank you to every person who supported this campaign. Every person who decided to dream together about what the College can and will be.
