Endowments are crucial for the long-term sustainability and growth of Woodberry Forest. They serve as a perpetual source of financial support that allows us to maintain and enhance the Woodberry experience. Endowments also allow us to adapt to changing needs and opportunities, ensuring that our school remains a leader in boys’ education for years to come. Through endowed giving, Woodberry can offer scholarships that open doors for talented students, preserve our historic and beautiful campus, and contribute to the people and programs that make Woodberry so exceptional. Endowed funds ensure that future generations of students will continue to benefit from the rich educational experiences and traditions that define Woodberry.
