TODAY: The Giving Day Challenge
We have one question for you today—what’s your Milton Connection? From powerful academic opportunities to enriching arts and athletics programming, the sky is truly the limit.
With your support, we will strengthen all of our Milton Connections—the people, programs, and places that define a Milton education.
When we reach 1,000 donors by 11:59 p.m. ET TODAY, Milton Academy Board President Claire Hughes Johnson ’90 P ’24 ’27 will give $100K to the Milton Fund! Your support, along with her generous challenge gift to the Milton Fund, will create countless connections for our students, faculty, and staff.
Microchallenges
Your support opens the door to more connections, and this year’s microchallenges offer more ways to help your gift go further.
Cause-Based Microchallenges
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Microchallenge
Financial Aid Microchallenge
Student Experience Microchallenge
Affiliation-Based Microchallenges
When making your gift, select all of your Milton affiliation(s) on the giving form, and your support will automatically count towards one or more of the following affiliation-based microchallenges:
Boarding Community
China & Hong Kong Regional
Faculty & Staff (all current Milton faculty and staff members)
Parents (all current Milton parents)
Seniors (all Class of 2024 students)
Recurring Gift

Increase Your Impact
You can challenge classmates, match donors to a particular cause, or match anyone who simply makes a gift at a particular hour! Get creative and find ways to see how your Milton Connections can multiply your impact this Giving Day!
