Total Endowment

Total Endowment as of June 30, 2024: $12,904,742

Over the past few years, WMA’s endowment has grown from $11.3M to $12.1M.

The independent school average across Massachusetts is $103M.

What does the Endowment do?

Each year, roughly 5% of our endowment’s value is drawn into our operating budget. The bigger our endowment, the bigger that 5% gets. More support from our endowment can mean:

  • more financial aid for families
  • new and innovative academic courses
  • broader athletic opportunities
  • improved arts spaces and programs
  • upgraded dorm rooms and common spaces
  • and more!

$12M in endowment equals $600,000 in yearly budget support.

$50M in endowment would equal $2.5 MILLION in yearly budget support.

Imagine the impact that would have!

Become a partner on this journey of legacy and impact. Name the Academy in your estate plan and help us reach our goal!
