In October 2024, Washington and Lee University launched its $650 million comprehensive capital campaign, Leading Lives of Consequence: The Campaign for Washington and Lee, the most ambitious fundraising effort in W&L’s 275-year history.

The Leading Lives of Consequence campaign will underwrite initiatives outlined in the university’s Strategic Plan that enable Washington and Lee to offer a truly exceptional education. It will provide the resources to attract and support top-quality students and faculty, invest in its innovative liberal arts and legal curriculum, expand athletic and recreational opportunities and provide first-rate facilities that support its mission.

The campaign represents a powerful investment in Washington and Lee and in the students and teachers who contribute to and benefit from the university’s educational excellence. The funding priorities — all of which will advance W&L’s mission — fall into five primary areas: Community, Curriculum, Citizenship, Campus, and Continuity.
