Donor Recognition

The Giving Report 2022-2023

Thank You, Donors! 

All things at WMA are made possible because of the generosity of our donors. No matter their connection to the Academy or the size of their gift, we are truly honored to have their support. Through our recognition societies, The Giving Report, events and communications, we seek to celebrate them and showcase their impact on the WMA community.
