Donor Circles
Milton Academy’s donor circles recognize and honor alumni, parents, friends, and students whose annual leadership gifts help sustain and strengthen the school.
Through their generosity, donors make an immediate impact on the areas that matter most—supporting exceptional teaching, expanding access through financial aid, enriching student experiences, and advancing academic excellence across Milton’s K–12 community. As unrestricted support for the Milton Fund, these gifts also provide the flexibility to seize new opportunities, invest in innovation, and address emerging needs, ensuring that Milton remains strong today and well positioned for the future.
Leadership Giving: The 1798 Circle
The 1798 Circle, named for Milton Academy’s founding year, is the school’s annual leadership giving society. Through generous support of the Milton Fund, 1798 Circle donors help sustain the excellence of a Milton education for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 while providing the flexibility to seize new opportunities and reduce reliance on tuition revenue.
Each year, alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, and students demonstrate their commitment to Milton’s mission through leadership-level annual giving. In recognition of their generosity, 1798 Circle members receive special communications from the school, invitations to exclusive stewardship events, and early registration opportunities for select Milton programs and events.
