Parents have a huge impact on student success
Benefit your Exonian now, and in the future, by providing unrestricted dollars that help close the gap between tuition and the true cost of an Exeter education.
Your gift directly contributes to life at Exeter — from supporting the College Counseling Office and our 63 athletic teams to providing service opportunities for students and professional development for teachers. And so much more.
We couldn’t do it without you.

At no other time in my life have I been immersed in such a rich environment as during my four years as an Exeter student (though I do not miss the homework!). It is with joy and gratefulness that I can experience Exeter again, through the lens of my two sons (classes of 2020 and 2022). They are making friends from around the globe, finding their voices around the table and exploring new interests. It is fun to watch!

I grew up in Southern Maine and attended Gould Academy for high school. The four years I spent at a boarding school were transformational and ultimately led me to a career in independent schools. While at Gould, I participated in a number of clubs, including Gold Key, which was a student volunteer group that worked with the Alumni Office. After graduation, as a way to give back to the school I love, I served on the Gould Alumni Board from 2012 to 2018.
Every Gift Counts
Last year, Exeter received $268,024 total in gifts of less than $100.
Combined, that number represents the single largest Exeter Fund gift.
