Capital Improvement Campaign

The generosity of our Alumni has enabled the Charge to acquire and maintain the House in its historic grandeur.

Now it’s our turn.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 in 2020-21 to provide funds for key capital improvements, to reduce the mortgage, and to establish a capital fund to be drawn on in subsequent years. We expect this money will be sufficient to restore the House to its historic grandeur and maintain it for 15-20 years. Physical improvements include a new boiler, a new roof, repair of the side portico, renovation of three bathrooms, room improvements, and more.

  • We hope you will consider making a substantial contribution today, either online or by mailing a check.
  • We encourage you to also make a pledge to contribute an additional amount over the next three years.
  • We ask that you contribute at least 40% of your pledge upfront.
  • For example, for each $1,000 you would like to contribute, you might contribute $400 today and then $17 per month for 36 months, for a total of $1,012. So if you wanted to contribute $5,000, you would contribute $2,000 today and $85 per month for 36 months.
  • For alumni in the early stages of their careers or facing challenging circumstances, we encourage you to join the “18.11 Club” by agreeing to contribute $18.11 or more per month.
  • Some alumni have donated shares of appreciated stock, which can confer substantial tax benefits. This can be stock you own in the company you work for or stock you purchased on the open market. Please contact us about how to arrange this
