Wye River Upper School Impact Initiative
Every gift creates a ripple of opportunity at Wye River Upper School. No matter the size, each contribution helps strengthen the programs, people, and experiences that give students who learn differently the opportunity to discover their strengths, build confidence, and succeed.
The Annual Fund is Wye River’s dedicated annual season of giving, bringing together families, alumni, friends, and community members through the WRUS Impact Initiative. Gifts provide flexible support where it can make the greatest difference - from strengthening academic programs and supporting faculty to enriching student experiences and expanding access to the resources and opportunities that prepare students for college, career, and life beyond the classroom.

The Annual Fund is Wye River Upper School's yearly giving campaign. Tuition covers much of the cost for a WRUS education, but Annual Fund gifts help provide the programs, resources. and opportunities that makes the WRUS community special.
The Financial Aid Fund helps ensure that qualified students can access a Wye River Upper School education regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. Support for this fund expands access to Wye River’s personalized learning environment and gives more students who learn differently the opportunity to discover their strengths, build confidence, and succeed.
Throughout the year, WRUS undertakes special initiatives that enhance the student experience, strengthen our campus, and preserves the history of our nearly 100-year-old Armory building. From improving learning spaces like Makerspace 2.0 to expanding innovative programs, these projects are supported by this fund.
