The Wellington Fund

Civics empower today’s students to be tomorrow’s informed, active, and responsible citizens. By integrating civics into the classroom through research-backed curriculum and experiential learning, we prepare students to understand multiple perspectives and engage thoughtfully in their communities. Gifts will benefit students in each grade, from discussion-based learning and mock trial experiences in lower and middle school to scholarships that expand access to immersive experiences like Model UN and Ohio Youth in Government in upper school.

80% of Wellington’s students engage in sports, improving their perseverance, accountability, collaboration, and leadership through athletic development. Converting unused classrooms into locker rooms will elevate the middle school athletic experience, while the new training room will offer athletes from all divisions a well-equipped and more spacious area to receive treatment. The new training room will include a cold tub, washer and dryer, wet areas, taping and treatment area, rehabilitation equipment, and storage.

Gifts directed to tuition assistance support families facing unexpected financial challenges, helping them remain part of our community. These contributions also enhance support for families already receiving aid, increasing accessibility and opportunities for more students to benefit from a Wellington education.

Our commitment to innovation and adaptability requires flexibility. By directing funds where they are most needed, we can respond swiftly to ever-changing opportunities and unforeseen challenges.

The Leadership Society recognizes those donors to The Wellington Fund who invest at least $2,500 per year, and for Alumni who contribute $1,000 or more. Members of the Leadership Society have long recognized the opportunity to lead and help set the bar higher for what our school can accomplish. Along with the Founders Society, the Leadership Society accounts for a substantial portion of funds raised.

The Founders Society is a recognition society for the school's top annual investors - families contributing $10,000 or more to The Wellington Fund. Members of the Founders Society make the biggest impact on the Wellington program by providing important funding. This group of investors represents a substantial portion of funds raised.

The Legacy Society represents individuals who have made a planned gift to Wellington. This support ensures that tomorrow’s students will have continued access to world-class faculty and innovative curriculum in an environment that welcomes curiosity and stirs passion for learning. All planned gifts will go toward The Wellington School Endowment Fund unless otherwise designated.
