Reunions are the ideal occasion to reflect on how the School has transformed your life and the lives of your classmates-and the perfect occasion to demonstrate your pride in the School and gratitude for your Lawrenceville education by reinvesting in its future.

Celebrate your reunion with a gift to The Lawrenceville Fund

Reunion gifts to The Lawrenceville Fund (TLF) support the School's most pressing needs and allow Lawrenceville to provide exceptional resources for the next generation of Lawrentians-students who enter curious and emerge courageous.

Reunion classes strive to achieve increased dollar and participation goals, and lead the way for their fellow alumni. All classmates are asked to participate in the Reunion Gift in a communal spirit of reunion giving. Just as important, this tradition of giving back links Lawrentians of every era.

What Distinguishes a Reunion Gift?

A Reunion Gift is typically a "stretch" commitment above and beyond your usual support. Payments may be made over as many as five years, with your total commitment over that time recognized as your Reunion Gift.

Which gifts count toward your class total?

Nearly all new gifts and pledges made in your reunion year are recognized, including gifts and future pledges to The Lawrenceville Fund; capital gifts, such as gifts to financial aid and faculty support; and many types of planned gifts. Reunion giving emphasizes and prioritizes current-year TLF gifts. Each class has a dollar and participation goal for TLF in its reunion year, and all future commitments are recognized. You can fulfill your pledge with appreciated stock and save tax dollars, or set up a recurring monthly gift on your credit card and earn points.

of total giving by Lawrencville Alumni comes from the major reunion classes each year.

Why You Should Make a Multi-Year Reunion Commitment

Pledging your support over five years amplifies the impact of your gift. Your aggregate commitment is recognized in the Reunion Gift announced at the conclusion of the fiscal year, June 30.

Making a multi-year pledge makes your life easier. You will not receive solicitation appeals from the School for the duration of your commitment, only pledge reminders.

Pledging enables Lawrenceville to function more efficiently. A large number of pledges over time helps us forecast how to best allocate our resources each school year. Your pledge also frees Lawrenceville staff and volunteers to seek out new donors and saves on mailing costs.

Pledging helps your class increase their participation rates in The Lawrenceville Fund. And you won't have to remember if you made your gift - you set it and forget it until your next reunion.

Since 1931, The Lawrenceville Fund has been a vital source of momentum for Lawrenceville, and the primary means for all alumni, parents, and friends to help sustain the distinctive features that make Lawrenceville special. The success of The Lawrenceville Fund reflects a spirit of shared experience and mutual encouragement, as each generation of Lawrentians preserves the legacy of opportunity it received, strengthens it, and passes it on.

Each year, thousands of alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff and grandparents join together to raise more than $7 million for The Lawrenceville School through The Lawrenceville Fund. The Lawrenceville Fund is and will always be the School's highest philanthropic priority and is a principal priority of this Campaign.

What would we lose without The Lawrenceville Fund?

The Lawrenceville Fund provides roughly 10% of the School's operating revenue. Annual giving through The Lawrenceville Fund is vital to sustaining our educational mission-for both today's students and future generations. Supporting the day-to-day needs of long-term initiatives-financial aid, academic and co-curricular programs, faculty development, athletics, arts, and campus sustainability-The Lawrenceville Fund is the engine that empowers a truly transformative education.

Why should I consider a multi-year commitment?

A multi-year commitment can help you keep track of your giving, cut down on annual solicitations, and ensure that you continue to support the Lawrenceville Fund each and every fiscal year. In addition, alumni who make multi-year commitments to The Lawrenceville Fund during their milestone reunions will have the entirety of their commitments counted in their Class Reunion Gift totals.

Why does alumni and parent participation matter?

Participation is a vote of confidence in Lawrenceville's mission and a vote of support for the value of a Lawrenceville education. Your participation with a gift of any size demonstrates your acknowledgement of Lawrenceville's importance in your life.

How can I increase the impact of my support through a matching gift?

Many companies and foundations will match the value of charitable gifts made by employees and their spouses, board members, and retirees. To find out if a particular company or foundation has a matching gift program, check our matching gift database.

Lawrenceville will emerge even more inclusive-championing a world of ideas and developing exceptional students from all backgrounds, regardless of their economic circumstances.

John Cleve Green Society

It was through the foresight and generosity of the Society's namesake, John Cleve Green, that the School was purchased in 1879 from Samuel M. Hamill, recreated in the tradition of the older New England academies, and brought to international prominence before the turn of the century. The remarkable legacy of John Cleve Green and his generous heirs includes much that gives Lawrenceville its distinctive character today. The Circle Houses, Memorial Hall, Upper House, Edith Memorial Chapel, and most of the land on which the School is situated are all part of this extraordinary legacy.

The John Cleve Green Society honors and seeks to perpetuate this distinguished tradition of giving at Lawrenceville. Participation in any of Lawrenceville's planned giving programs-including bequests, life income arrangements, and other deferred gifts-automatically qualifies donors for membership in the John Cleve Green Society.

Red & Black Leadership Society

The generosity of our most outstanding donors drives the transformation that is a hallmark of the Lawrenceville experience. While we are grateful for gifts of any size, leadership gifts are critical to the success of The Lawrenceville Fund and The Parents Fund each year. Through their gifts to The Lawrenceville Fund, Red & Black donors provide the foundation for the exceptional teaching, innovative programs, and unique traditions that make our School a place like no other.

Membership in the Red & Black Leadership Society begins at $2,500 with special provisions for Lawrenceville's young alumni. A leadership gift to The Lawrenceville Fund each year is one of the most significant declarations you can make of your commitment to Lawrenceville's mission-and a powerful way to ensure that young people emerge courageously as the individuals they were always meant to be.

In a letter dated September 20, 1994, Peter Lawson-Johnston '45 GP'95 '98 '15 '18, president of Lawrenceville's Board of Trustees at the time, noted that the School had "been searching for an earnest, dignified, and companionable way" to thank its most distinguished supporters. Fellow trustee Tom Shutt '50 suggested establishing a special "class" to honor these exceptionally generous donors-The Sixth Form.

While membership in The Sixth Form has grown significantly since its inception-now spanning the globe-but this exclusive group of alumni, parents, and friends of Lawrenceville retains its original camaraderie. The first Sixth Form dinner was hosted by Ambassador John Irwin '33 and his wife, Jane, at their home in New York City, and members continue to trade hosting duties for this cherished event, gathering annually to celebrate their shared affinity for the School.

Lawrenceville will emerge stronger. With your support, we will solidify our leadership position among the world's finest secondary schools and prevail in our mission to transform lives and the world at large.

Our mission to inspire the best in each to seek the best for all is a timeless motivation for Lawrentians. Every student enters this School with boundless curiosity, and it is our job to provide them with the knowledge, skills, and courage to confront the future with confidence and grace.

Having a flexible source of funding for our School's most pressing needs is one of the most important priorities of this Campaign. The Lawrenceville Fund, which includes The Parents Fund, has an immediate, positive impact on our School and allows us to maintain the distinctive features that are central to the Lawrenceville experience. The Fund contributes substantially to our annual operating budget, helping to enrich students' lives on a daily basis.

At the same time, our endowment is the financial bedrock on which every program, every achievement, is built, and why it is so important to strengthen Lawrenceville's financial foundation today for the students of tomorrow. Gifts to Lawrenceville's endowment ensure that the traditions and values important to us as a School and community will continue in perpetuity-the ultimate example of "paying it forward."

Morgan Dever Morris dove in head first when she arrived at Lawrenceville and has been doing much the same for The Lawrenceville Fund, the School's annual giving vehicle, since graduation. A swimmer, dancer, and rower, she immersed herself in everything from academics to Big Red athletics to the arts. She went on to Princeton and a successful career in finance, and she credits the School with making her path possible.

"Lawrenceville was the launching pad for both college and the rest of my career," she says.

Morgan is enthusiastic about giving back and invites others to join her. Many of her gifts to The Lawrenceville Fund over the years were designated to Athletic Programs and Facilities, and her support has grown as her career has progressed. Her most recent gift was directed to Equity and Inclusion initiatives. A Class Agent and member of the Alumni Association Executive Committee, she encourages others to support the Fund, which provides for a wide range of immediate School priorities, with any amount they can.

The bonds Morgan formed with friends, faculty, and coaches have stayed with her and deepened over the years. "That has meant the world to me," she says. "It's important to support the School. Lawrenceville is still giving to us, well beyond the gates."

"To support the Campaign is to invest in Lawrenceville's mission and its future; preserving, sustaining, and building on all that is great about the School for future generations."

Transform the Way Forward Now

Sustaining Our Legacy of Success

For over two centuries, our benefactors have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our core values and esteemed legacy.

Emerge Transformed has set ambitious goals for The Lawrenceville Fund and the School's endowment, each a gauge of institutional strength. Your support of these priorities will ensure that Lawrenceville continues to thrive.

Community is central to the Lawrenceville experience. We seek to design a campus that balances physical activity and intellectual growth in an environment built to help students flourish.

With your assistance, we will turn this vision into a reality-providing the Lawrenceville community with a safe, spirited, and inspiring place to call home.

Lawrenceville students live in an intentionally collaborative community. We will strengthen and reinforce the sense of community on campus-and renew long-held values-while preserving our unique and treasured sense of place.

One commitment is a pedestrian-only campus core, highlighting the beauty of our Olmsted-designed campus. Our new carless community will enable students and faculty to travel to and from classes in a pedestrian-friendly core, and will support our goals for enhanced safety, community fitness, and a healthy environment.

Another is the remarkable new Tsai Field House, which will incorporate the Tsai Commons for dining. A robust and transformative education requires a holistic approach to student wellbeing, advancing each Lawrentian's intellectual, emotional, and physical potential. By combining athletics, recreation, and dining, the forthcoming Tsai Field House will meet this charge. This game-changing facility will preserve and repurpose the best of Lawrenceville's existing field house while creating a complex that will function as the heart of our School.

No single gift-or individual donor-embodies the Campaign theme of "transformation" more than Joe Tsai.

Today Joe is executive vice chairman of Alibaba Group, the Chinese e-commerce giant he co-founded, and owns the Brooklyn Nets (NBA), the Barclays Center, the San Diego Seals lacrosse team, and the New York Liberty (WNBA). But he came to Lawrenceville as a 13-year-old from Taiwan who spoke little English and worked hard to find his place. The next five years would be filled with defining moments, fueling his passion for athletics and teaching him the importance of humility and perseverance in achieving success.

Joe's academic prowess took him to Yale undergrad, Yale Law School, and turns in corporate law and private equity, but it was athletics that gave him a sense of place. He says of his early days at Lawrenceville, "I figured if I wanted to be more a part of the community, I would need to participate in sports." He found his place on the field and the court, playing varsity football and lacrosse for Big Red and House basketball for Cleve.

The Tsai Field House, which will incorporate the Tsai Commons for dining, will provide a unique venue for Lawrentians to gather as teammates, fans, and dining companions, extending the camaraderie of House life and Harkness learning. The combination of team sports, recreation, and dining is deliberate. A gift from Joe and his wife, Clara, through the Joe & Clara Tsai Foundation, Tsai Field House will be the only facility of its kind at an independent school.

"Lawrenceville is about the inspiration you draw from the sense of community here," says Joe. "When cultivated, it's a gravitational pull that yields a life-changing experience."

"Lawrenceville is about the inspiration you draw from the sense of community here - when cultivated, it's a gravitational pull that yields a life-changing experience."

Lawrenceville is creating a physical campus that prioritizes community. A master plan that supports wellness, enhances safety and relationships, preserves our landscape, and teaches responsibility to oneself, to others, and to the world around us.

Our School community will emerge even better than before, and our students will be even healthier and happier.

Lawrenceville's world-class faculty and staff build and support a dynamic, ever-evolving learning experience for our students. These dedicated and talented individuals provide the foundation that enables our students to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.

We will expand experiential learning and sustain educators of the highest caliber-preparing our students for success in college and in life.

To achieve this, we will expand S.T.E.A.M., our intentionally interdisciplinary approach to teaching science, technology, engineering, art and design, and mathematics. Through our Harkness Travel and immersive Scholars programs, we will take students out of the classroom and engage them in real-world applications of knowledge.

Enhanced programs and facilities equip our gifted educators with the tools they need to elevate learning, creativity, and student agency. Attracting and retaining a distinguished faculty requires the provision of competitive salaries, on-campus faculty housing, and novel instructional opportunities. With these assets in place, our instructors can bring out the best in bright minds and empower students to exceed their own expectations.

"I never thought I'd make it through Thanksgiving," says Glenn Hutchins of his first months at Lawrenceville. Not only did he survive the culture shock, but he went on to graduate with academic distinction-plus earn undergraduate, law and business degrees from Harvard-and pursue a landmark career in investing and public policy. Described as "a kingpin of private equity," Glenn is chairman of North Island and North Island Ventures, a co-founder of Silver Lake, a global leader in technology investing, and a leader of some of America's most prestigious institutions.

Glenn, with his wife, Debbie, has given back to Lawrenceville in multiple ways, but the most significant has been their support of experiential education through the Hutchins Scholars. The Hutchins Scholars Program provides students with substantive scientific research experiences, including affiliations with Stanford University and the Royal Botanic Garden-Edinburgh. Its success has given rise to similar programs in history, creative writing, and environmental studies.

Glenn's philanthropic interests extend to creating the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard and the Hutchins Center for Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings, where he co-chairs the board. He is also co-chair of CARE, creating the first domestic CARE package in Harlem and the Bronx during the pandemic. He is additionally vice chair of the Obama Foundation, which is building the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago's Jackson Park.

"Lawrenceville fosters and instills excellence," says Glenn of his commitment to the School. "It attracts gifted students from widely different backgrounds and prepares them to make vital contributions in every walk of life."

"Lawrenceville fosters and instills excellence. It attracts gifted students from widely different backgrounds, training them to be leaders in their own manner in their chosen fields and preparing them to make vital contributions in every walk of life."

With your support, Lawrenceville can do more-awaken more potential, unlock more creativity, and provide the world with more thoughtful and capable leaders.

We know our fundraising goals are ambitious, but we are confident that your gift has the power to change lives and transform the way our students learn.

Join our community of generous donors today.

Lawrenceville will emerge even more inclusive-championing a world of ideas and developing exceptional students from all backgrounds, regardless of their economic circumstances.

The best and the brightest have always been welcomed at the Harkness table-individuals who offer unique perspectives and raise the caliber of learning for the entire student body. We strive to cultivate a community as expansive in thought as it is inclusive of all backgrounds and perspectives, creating a learning experience that mirrors the world we live in now-and in the future.

At Lawrenceville, we know admitting the most qualified candidates requires reaching across the socioeconomic spectrum. Currently, endowed scholarships make up only 50% of our financial aid budget. Our goal is to increase that to 70%, enhancing our long-term financial health and enabling us to admit the most promising students regardless of financial need.

Help us decrease barriers between the brightest minds and the best opportunities. Providing scholarships allows these outstanding students to emerge as the unstoppable individuals they were meant to become.

As chair of the Admission & Financial Aid Committee of the Board of Trustees, Alex Buckley Voris knows better than most the importance of scholarship funding to sustaining Lawrenceville's commitment to a culture based on excellence. Her support of financial aid through the Buckley Scholarship Fund has made her the School's most generous alumna.

Established in 2014, the fund not only pays the tuition for students with significant financial need, but it also ensures that they have an opportunity to engage in an enriching summer experience without sacrificing the income they might earn from a needed summer job. Since its inception, the fund has made a material impact on the lives of 14 outstanding young people, with seven currently enrolled. Alex's commitment to providing outstanding educational opportunities to Lawrenceville's most deserving students is built on the power of partnership and a feeling of responsibility for giving back. She made her first gift to Lawrenceville as a graduating Fifth Former and has been giving ever since.

"Lawrenceville's mission-to inspire the best in each to seek the best for all-speaks to the vital role of our school and its potential to both transform individual lives and have a powerful impact on the world," says Alex. "The chance to help strengthen our capacity to recruit and enroll the most dynamic, talented kids we can find is incredibly exciting to me."

"Strengthening our capacity to recruit and enroll the most dynamic and talented students we can find, across the socioeconomic spectrum, is one of the greatest responsibilities we have."

At Lawrenceville, we put an emphasis on opportunity. Please support our effort to make Lawrenceville accessible to deserving students from all income levels. With your help, Lawrenceville can transform these promising young people into the leaders they were meant to be.
