The Campaign for Proctor

Learning happens best at the intersection of individualized academics and experiential opportunities within a strong, nurturing community. That’s what Proctor does. We are a national model for educating life-long learners in a way that graduates creative, resilient, and knowledgeable problem solvers who care about community. The Campaign for Proctor will raise $40 million to support the construction and renovation of campus facilities, grow the endowment, and strengthen and enrich educational programs central to Proctor’s holistic approach.

Why Invest in Endowment?

Investing in Proctor's Endowment

Investing in Proctor’s endowment is critical to securing the financial future of the school and ensuring the optimal experience for students. Endowment funds help underwrite financial aid, professional development for faculty/staff, and specific programs.

Endowed scholarships afforded Joanna ‘08 the opportunity to live and learn at Proctor. Joanna studied off-campus for three terms and led her basketball team to a New England Championship during her four years at Proctor. Now an entrepreneur inspiring inner city youth around New England and a member of Proctor’s Board of Trustees, she notes, “I am a prime example of how investing in young people through Proctor’s endowment enhances the experience of everyone on campus. Sharing Proctor’s model with those students who could not otherwise afford must remain central to our mission, and investing in the endowment is a critical step in Proctor’s journey toward this goal.” Read Joanna’s ‘08 story HERE.
