Putney’s Largest Comprehensive Campaign to Date
Sing it Forward:
Help us cross the finish line
With over $39 million committed to the Sing it Forward campaign, we are moved by the generosity of the Putney alumni, trustees, families, and friends who have come together in support of this effort.
As we celebrate this success, we also recognize the pieces of the campaign for which we are still fundraising:
Performing Arts Center: $4.5 million goal, nearly $1 million committed. Putney seeks an additional $3.5 million to fully fund this ambitious project, which renovate and build onto the Michael S. Currier Center in service of all of Putney’s performing arts programs.
Justice and Action Fund: $2 million goal, $1.6 million raised. An additional $400,000 needed to complete a fund that will support African American students.
Emily Jones Fund for Student Support: $1.5 million goal, $1.42 million raised. $80,000 needed to complete a fund to make the full Putney experience available to students across the economic spectrum.
Thank you to our generous donors who have taken us so far in this ambitious campaign. Help us finish strong and let Putney walk with confidence into its bright future.
Performing Arts Center
Putney is seeking the support needed to renovate Calder Hall and to build a new performing arts wing onto the Michael S. Currier Center, which will house and support our theater, music, and dance programs. Renovations will strengthen and solidify Putney’s robust performing arts disciplines, raising the quality and support of each as they come, for the first time, under the same roof.
The Value of Theater at Putney
Putney alumni who went on to launch successful acting careers describe how Putney’s theater program shaped their lives, and the importance of investing in much-needed updates.
Student and Faculty Housing
Goal: $15 Million
Dorms are fundamental to the life and character of a boarding school. Architecture and amenities influence both individual and communal behavior.
Student and Faculty Support
A leader in progressive education, The Putney School is a destination for curious, driven, and creative minds. Student and Faculty Support funds expand access to Putney, from the financial aid that makes a Putney education possible, to the world of experiences that offer the full breadth and depth of what Putney can deliver.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund forms the cornerstone of Putney’s fundraising effort. It has grown and thrived in the last decade, and its success is tied to the campaign’s success. The Annual Fund goal for FY26 is $1.3 million.
Showing Up for AM Barn (and Putney)
