Donor Stories

A Family Inspired: Brandon and Becky Kelly P'26 share what motivates their philanthropy to Govs

We believe wholeheartedly in the mission of Govs. Sometimes, it is hard to see how such lofty goals permeate the daily lives of the students, but we’ve witnessed the spirit of this mission on and off campus, not only with our daughter but with countless other students and members of the Governor’s family.

For Others

Albert (A.C.) ’55 and Penney Hubbard are pro-education and pro-Baltimore. How does that impact students in Byfield, 435 miles away?

TO HONOR YOUR GENEROSITY, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THESE GIVING SOCIETIES, EACH WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS:

1763 SocietyThe 1763 Society is named in honor of the year the Academy was founded and is a testament to the profound impact of our most generous contributors. Members of the 1763 Society donate at the leadership level of $1,763 or more in a single fiscal year. Their contributions are pivotal in supporting the school today and shaping the future.

Schoolhouse SocietyThe Governor’s Academy was founded with a bequest by Lieutenant Governor William Dummer. From the very start, the school's existence depended upon the generosity of those who came before us. In the spirit of the Academy’s original benefactor, William Dummer, the Schoolhouse Society honors alumni, parents, and friends who have included the school in their legacies through planned gifts.

Phillips SocietyThe Phillips Society recognizes those who have demonstrated their loyalty to the Academy by donating to our school for two or more consecutive years.

Cardinal & White ClubOur youngest alumni inspire us not only with their burgeoning philanthropy, but with their loyalty. The Cardinal & White Club recognizes graduates of the last decade who have given for two or more consecutive years, or who contribute $100 or more in a single fiscal year to any fund.

Milestone SocietyThe Academy is proud to honor those individuals and families whose generosity has profoundly impacted the Academy's direction and progress throughout its history. The Milestone Society recognizes donors who have made fully-funded gifts of $250,000 or more in their lifetime.
