Giving

Your support of the Chesapeake Watershed Semester and the Gunston School help to make our program possible. From fundraising to “friendraising”, we thank you for helping to support the growth of the Watershed Semester.

The impact of your gift

Three-quarters of CWS students receive financial aid, your gift helps us to ensure that all interested and qualified students can access this impactful semester.

Why I give

Launching the Watershed Semester at the Gunston School is a dream come true for me. To see students embracing real-world learning with such energy and enthusiasm gives me hope for our planet’s future. Seeing and hearing from students how this program has shaped them inspires me to give as well as lead.
