Because of you, Gulliver students continue to learn, grow, and thrive in extraordinary ways.

This year, our community reached 56% participation in the Gulliver Fund, a meaningful increase from last year and a powerful reflection of our shared commitment to Gulliver’s mission and future.

Your generosity helped expand academic support, accelerate AI integration across classrooms, provide $15.2 million in financial aid, enhance student wellness initiatives, renovate learning spaces, strengthen programs, and create countless opportunities for students to discover their passions and potential.

But the true impact of your support is best told by the students themselves.

Thank you for believing in our students, our faculty, and the future of Gulliver. As we celebrate our Centennial and look ahead to The Next 100, your support continues to shape what is possible.
