The Mary Lyon Leadership Society recognizes and honors those who support the college at a leadership level. Leadership giving by members of the Mary Lyon Leadership Society accounts for, on an annual basis, more than 90% of the Wheaton Fund.

Increased annual giving to the college through the Wheaton Fund has not only helped to address pressing needs but has also reduced spending of endowment income, thus preserving Wheaton’s long-term financial resources.

Mary Lyon Leadership Society commitments can be made in installments but must be fulfilled by June 30 of each year. In addition, corporate matching gift programs can make membership in the Mary Lyon Leadership Society more attainable, allowing you to double or even triple your gift to Wheaton.
