Development Report

Letter from the Development Office

We are excited to report that Millbrook enjoyed another outstanding year in all respects in 2021-2022. THE THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERABLE GENEROSITY of so many members of our Millbrook family provided invaluable resources to the school’s annual and capital priorities, and gifts to our school totaled $8,306,111. Millbrook’s bright future—to borrow an aviation meteorology term—is “CAVU,” Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited.

The campus has been abuzz with activity, and we are grateful to share highlights with you. On Pulling Circle stands a new Pulling House, which is a same-but-better, more modern version of the original. Next to that is Anthony House, new home to Millbrook’s Alumni & Development Office and welcome center for visiting alumni. Well-designed spaces for our alumni and development colleagues will allow them to continue their important work: propelling the school forward as we approach Millbrook’s centennial in 2031.

That important work includes the Annual Fund, which covers 10% of annual operating costs and continues apace as we reached our ambitious target last year of $2.4 million. VIth form parents worked with energy and enthusiasm to contribute nearly $400,000 of that total and name the Class of 2022 Terrace on the north end of Casertano Hall in honor of their children.

The 2022-2023 academic year is now in full swing, and we have a lengthy to-do list. Looking forward over the next three years, Vision 2025 includes significant expansion and facility upgrades to the Mills Athletic Center, the relocation of the tennis courts, a new boys dormitory, and a host of other projects including implementing a long-range master plan for Millbrook’s Trevor Zoo. With your belief, commitment, and loyal partnership, we will achieve our future goals and make our school ever stronger as we further the mission our founders envisioned 91 years ago.

CAVU! We look forward to this journey together,

Nancy I. Stahl Director of Advancement Robert W. Anthony ’65 Assistant to the Head of School for External Relations
