Message from the head of school
“As I reflect back on a decade in the shadow of the elms, I’m struck by how much I have learned and grown from my relationships with the people of this community. I’ve had the honor of presenting MB diplomas to over 1,000 graduates and met more than 1,500 alumni at reunions and events around the country. I’ve had a chance to partner with several thousand parents and work with hundreds of incredibly talented, caring faculty and staff. We all have been focused on two simple, but lofty goals: preserving the timeless values and culture of MB, while challenging the school to grow and evolve to meet the changing needs of this rising generation of children. While I take great pride in all we’ve accomplished, what I most appreciate are the human connections, the depth of relationships and the shared Quaker values that make Moses Brown a community like no other.” — Matt Glendinning, Head of School

Moses Brown School: Quaker Education Makes a Difference | 7
MB Connects: share your passion, shine your light For more than two centuries, Moses Brown alumni have demonstrated deep care for their school, giving back in myriad ways. It’s this enduring spirit of service and stewardship that has sustained the school across generations. Leveraging this tradition, the Alumni Association has launched MB Connects, a program designed to broadly connect the passions and experiences of our incredible alumni with real needs of the school—in the classroom, on the field, in the theater, and around the country and in service of students, teachers, staff, and fellow alumni. This unique initiative allows alumni to engage with the school community on their terms, in ways that are personally meaningful. Given our values as a Friends school, we believe that each of us is unique and has something of value to offer. So it’s time to share your passions and let your light shine.
Allison Krause ’02—An MB “lifer,” Allison was looking for a way to give back to her alma mater and called at the start of the 2018-19 school year to inquire about volunteering in the upper school. Allison attended MB for 15 years, as did her father, Robert Krause ’63, and her grandfather served on the MB board. However, it took Allison a few years away from Moses Brown to fully realize the impact of her MB experience. “Looking back, I did not realize how good I had it as a student there!” Allison says, noting that students at the school today have even more opportunities. “MB has given me so many opportunities,” she says. “I wanted to find a way to give back to Moses Brown.” Allison started the season with the team, stepping up to coach the MB Mock Trial team with new faculty member Joshua Cabrera. Josh brings the student experience, Allison the legal expertise. They were thrilled to see the team win their first trial over LaSalle. She enthuses, “This experience has been so gratifying. The kids are the high point.” Despite the time to get the students ready for trial, Allison is glad she made the decision to call MB that fall day. It’s not only been good for the team, but for Allison as well. “The gratification I’ve gotten surpasses anything I put into it,” she says. “Kids who go to Moses Brown are pretty special, that’s clear. The kids are so enthusiastic; they really listen. It’s just a breath of fresh air to be around these kids who really want to learn.” “Volunteering is about wanting to make a difference. That might sound corny but it’s true. It’s working with people—whether in the classroom or the courtroom, affecting people in a positive way.”
Maggie Moran ’08, who works for Google creating engaging event experiences for the company and their clients, put her talent to work for MB as she hosted a fun-filled evening for nearly 70 alumni at the Google Cambridge offices. Maggie also anointed Matt Glendinning an honorary Googler, complete with the requisite headgear (see above). Partnering with the Alumni Association and the school’s Alumni Relations office to host events is a great way to let your light shine in service of fellow alumni and the school. Please be in touch with the Alumni Relations office (see below) if you have an idea for an event in your area.
“To anyone else who’s thinking about helping or volunteering at MB in any way, I’d say why not? Moses Brown is unlike anyplace else or any other school. It really is a community.”
Maggie’s service to MB started as a student when she was a Student Senate leader during her time in the upper school. Today, Maggie is a member of the MB Alumni Association Board, and serves as the Clerk of the National Committee that works to ensure MB has a vibrant calendar of alumni engagement events from coast to coast.
Interested in reconnecting? There are unlimited ways to give back, whether you volunteer in a classroom, mentor a student, advise a senior project, talk to a class or student group or just stop by for story time. Contact the Alumni office today to learn how you can contribute to MB’s learning community! Karin Morse: kmorse@mosesbrown.org (401) 831-7350 x191

Bay Area Alumni Create Unforgettable Experiences Host MB Students During Entrepreneurship & Social Innovation Trip
As part of MB TRIPs (Travel, Research and Immersion Programs), 11 students traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area during March break in 2019 to explore innovation in action. MB alumni offered their expertise and hospitality to help create a series of unique and unforgettable experiences. Ashley Haffenreffer Wagstaff ’82, a former Alumni Association Board member, activated her Silicon Valley network for MB students. She arranged a private tour of Facebook with one of the company’s lead space designers. Ashley facilitated a visit to Quizlet’s headquarters, where students had a private meeting with founder Andrew Sutherland. Quizlet product engineers also engaged students in a rapid design challenge to develop next level functionality for their software. Finally, Ashley and her husband David Wagstaff hosted students and trip leaders Ron Dalgliesh and Gara Field at her home for a great Cal-Mex dinner. Ashley also welcomed a group of local alumni who shared their life and professional experiences with students.
“I loved being able to host, 3,000 miles from Moses Brown, a group of students who chose to spend part of their March break here in Silicon Valley, where I have lived for the past five years. Walking through the outdoor plazas and offices at Facebook where a friend took us for a tour, I listened to the amazement of the students about seeing that work environment behind the famed gates, and then, we hosted them all at our house for dinner with ten local alumni. Having my nephew, Jack Moran ’19, as part of the group was the bonus for me!” John Slafsky ’83, a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in Palo Alto, California, is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading intellectual property attorneys with clients like LinkedIn, Dropbox and Spotify. He hosted MB students at his firm, offering a broad overview of the ecosystem that has made Silicon Valley a world leader in innovation, technology and entrepreneurship. He also gave students a crash course on intellectual property, from patents and copyright law to trademarks and domains. Then, this fall, John continued his engagement, this time with students in MB’s Economics of Social Innovation course. As part of the class, students were engaged with the founders of HerStory
apparel; they were asked to research and provide advice on a trademark infringement issue the company was pursuing. One of the students in the class was part of the March break trip and reached out to John to see if he would help. A few days later, John was on a conference call talking through the details of the HerStory case with the students. “The MB students really impressed me with their eagerness to learn and their thoughtfulness. They were curious, engaged and excited about opportunities ahead. It was a great way for me to re-connect with the school.”
Special thanks to Alex Rickler ’09, a supply quality engineer, who hosted the MB group at Apple’s new Cupertino campus. And, to Dr. Uday Kumar ’90, a cardiologist and widely successful medical device entrepreneur, who was instrumental in the planning of the trip.

True Blue
est . 2016
Recognizing all the ways people ‘give’ to MB How has MB stayed true to our values of equality and respecting the Inner Light of each person as we seek to raise $65 million? We take great pride in some fairly contrarian and ‘Quakerly’ approaches we’ve taken to answering this query. While most schools launch fundraising campaigns with fancy dinners for big donors, we took a radically different approach. We celebrated the launch of MB Believes with StoryDrive, a performance-based celebration followed by a 1,200-person dinner under a starlit tent for the entire community. The central theme of our campaign launch—this is about and for all of us. Each of us has an important MB story. When we broke ground on the Woodman Center, there were no golden shovels for a few key donors and school leaders. We gave everyone a trowel and spread out along the outline of the building to come, breaking ground together—a single community celebrating the start of a project that would become the heart of campus life for all of us. Then, there is the idea of donor recognition. Most schools—and for many years MB among them—hold an annual event to recognize the largest contributors. But at a moment when we were seeking to raise the most money in our school’s history, we changed the model, creating True Blue. Make no mistake, MB Believes has inspired the largest gifts in school history and we have justly celebrated the kindness and generosity of donors like the Woodmans, the Gorgis and Russ Carpenter ’59 among many others who have made historic investments in the future of MB. At the same time, a big part of what inspires all our donors is the unique sense of community grounded in the Quaker principle that we each have something unique to offer. We all have an MB story, we all have something to give, and if we each take the simple act of doing what we can, the collective power of our community is transformational. Our annual True Blue event (and Annual Report recognition listing) embodies this ethos by celebrating all the ways people ‘give.’ We invite and honor our largest donors, loyal contributors, and all who have made a meaningful volunteer commitment. The million-dollar donor is recognized alongside the donor who has given loyally for decades and the volunteer who dedicates so much time and energy to MB—each of them, firmly committed to future of our school. We believe the choices we’ve made to honor everyone’s contributions during MB Believes has been essential to inspiring nearly $57 million in gifts from more than 3,700 individual donors. We’ve demonstrated that raising tens of millions of dollars does not have to be antithetical to values like equality and community. We can all be True Blue!

What inspires you to be True Blue? Heather Tow-Yick ’94
“As an executive in non-profit management and government, I am often asked about my own educational background. The Quaker values at Moses Brown are top of mind for me when I consider the influential experiences that shape my commitment to public service. As I became an alumna who has played several roles with the school, I continue to internalize these values more deeply and bring them into my work as a leader of people, process and teams. The foundation that MB provides to support students to find their passion, pursue this passion with clarity and consider an impact in a broader world is critical to the rapidly changing future of our country.”
Matt Fishbein ’02
Charlene and John Cassesse P’16 ’18
“My gratitude for the education I received and the lasting friendships that I developed. MB gave me my voice, confidence and idealism. I valued the freedom of expression and the opportunity to pursue my interests and passions within the flexible curriculum that the school afforded. I also appreciated how MB forced me outside of my comfort zone—especially with regard to athletics. MB remains the single most important educational experience in my life.”
This year’s event: TRUE
“We’re inspired to be TRUE BLUE because the Moses Brown community helped us nurture, educate, support and inspire our children for 14 years. Moses Brown helped us to be better parents.”
BLUE, January 24, 2020!

young learners center We believe in the wondrous experiences of young learners and the inspired spaces that propel them.
At the kick-off event for Expo 2019, we unveiled plans for a total renovation and expansion of the lower school with the help of MB students Ben ’20, Olive ’27, Dora ’20, Samuel ’29, Delphine ’20 and Barry ’28.
$7 million lower school renovation and expansion For nearly 45 years, MB’s Lower School building has offered a nurturing and challenging environment for children in the early years of their educational journey. Now, a top-tobottom renovation and expansion will enhance the space with new features, including a welldesigned entrance plaza with enhanced security, larger spaces for early childhood grades (N-1st), an imaginative play studio, administrative offices, and The Commons serving as a library, public gathering spot and home for foreign language learning.
Older students (grades 2-4) will be located on a completely renovated upper level, featuring larger and re-imagined classrooms, a music studio, a STEM hub called the Wonder Lab and a flexible suite of rooms designed for individual learning support and enrichment. Fully ADA-accessible, MB’s new lower school will provide our students with a state-of-the-art facility in which to explore, learn, grow and thrive.
Construction is expected to be completed in about 8 months (during the second semester of the 2020-21 school year and the summer of 2021). The plan is for the new lower school to be ready for the start of the 2021-22 school year. After a mere half-year hiatus from their current space, our students will return in the fall of 2021 to a completely new lower school.
Lower schoolers will also continue to enjoy MB’s top-notch facilities like the Woodman Center, the Y-Lab and Three Oaks.
Renovation and Expansion Highlights • The Commons represents a nearly 2,000 sq. ft. addition to the Lower School! It offers a place to gather, browse, read, present, perform and learn. The new home for the Debbie Goff Library, it also provides space for the entire lower school to gather, collaborate and celebrate. • In the Wonder Lab—equal parts science lab, maker space and tech studio—students will explore the world and imagine ways to make it a better place. It’s a space for studying coding, circuitry, robotics and engineering. • A Learning Lab houses MB’s learning specialists and provides space for one-on-one and small group support to meet the needs of every student, whether they are ready for additional challenges or need a little extra reinforcement. • An enlarged and self-contained early childhood center (N-1st) for MB’s youngest learners includes a Play Studio where children can let their imaginations run wild as they learn by playing and doing. • A new entry plaza and outdoor community and play space (directly off the lower school lot) feature enhanced security at entry. • Every core classroom and teaching space has been re-designed. Classrooms can be quickly re-configured into a variety of intentional learning zones to meet multiple educational needs.

The Young Learners Center is a renovation and expansion to MB’s lower school designed to support the way children learn in the 21st century. By clustering together the more ‘hands-on’ disciplines—science, music, and library—the project will promote experiential and interdisciplinary learning.
How You Can Help Lower School Project With $3.3 million pledged toward a $5.6 million goal, we are working hard to secure the remaining funding to get the project underway. Gifts of all sizes are welcome and encouraged and pledges can be paid over 3-5 years.
New Entryway
With a complete renovation and expansion, there are attractive naming opportunities available, ranging from $25,000 to $1 million. In considering a named space, many donors choose to honor or remember a beloved family member, a treasured friend or a favorite teacher. • MB’s iconic sandbox, two new story nooks, and a make-believe loft can each be named with commitments of $25,000. • Perhaps you or a group of your classmates/ parents might want to honor your experience in the lower school by naming a specific classroom with a gift of $100,000. • Did a passion for music, science or languages get its start in the lower school? Renovated classroom spaces for these disciplines can be named with gifts of $75,000.
The Commons
• Want to support MB’s individualized learning program and specialists? Consider naming tutoring or office spaces with gifts starting at $25,000. Additionally, be on the lookout for some fun and creative ways to get involved in group fundraising events and activities.

A Singular Challenge: A Defining Moment Thanks to the MB Believes campaign, Moses Brown has made unprecedented investments in its people, programs, and facilities, and continues to attract a vibrant, talented, and diverse applicant pool. At the same time, demand for financial aid has grown exponentially in recent years:
• 73% of new applicants now request need-based scholarship support, up from 43% in 2007-2008. MB has risen to meet this challenge by:
• increasing annual scholarship funding to $4.36 million in 2018-19 (up 130% in ten years) • growing the number of students receiving scholarship by 82% (215 students or 29% of student body in 2018-19).
• raising $11.5 million in endowed scholarship as part of a $15 million goal for MB Believes. Even with this historic progress, the increasing pace of growth in demand for need-based scholarships threatens MB’s ability to enroll the most talented students. These realities present a singular challenge and an anonymous donor has provided us with a transormative opportunity to meet it!
How You Can Help Double Your Scholarship Gift: $3.5m Matching Challenge As part of a historic $5 million gift, an anonymous donor has made the largest scholarship pledge in school history—$3.5 million. This commitment was made as a dollarfor-dollar matching challenge to the MB community. We must raise $3.5 million to “earn” the $3.5 million in matching challenge funds: that’s a potential $7 million in new scholarship funds for Moses Brown! We have $1.8 million left to raise!
“Despite all we’ve accomplished in recent years, we are at a defining moment at MB. The demand for scholarship funding presents an urgent challenge for all who care deeply about Moses Brown. To meet it, we must take historic leaps forward in scholarship endowment to secure the school’s long-term financial health and the vitality of the student body. At a very human level, there is perhaps no more powerful or enduring gift than providing educational opportunity to a young child.” —Matt Glendinning, Head of School To learn more or to explore specific giving opportunities, please contact Asstistant Head of School Ron Dalgliesh P’21 at (401) 831-7350 x111 or rdalgliesh@mosesbrown.org 18 | annual report 2018-19
Moses Brown has put increased scholarship funding at the center of its vision so that we can continue to attract the most talented and diverse students. We believe that enhancing access to MB will allow us to enroll the best minds and expose our students to the broadest range of perspectives, thereby strengthening the educational experience for our entire community.
A thank-you message ... the power of scholarship giving
“I can’t put into words what my thank you message is. You could ask a thousand kids that I grew up with if they’ve had the opportunities I have had at Moses Brown. I guarantee none of them have been able to do what I’ve done. Traveling to Africa, serving as a Student Senate leader, giving speeches to hundreds of people, none of it. I come from a place where people dream of going to a state school. Moses Brown has provided me with the opportunity of looking at some of the best colleges and universities in the country. I can’t describe how much Moses Brown means to me, but all I have to say is thank you to everyone who has made it possible.” –Scholarship recipient, upper school student
After being admitted to Moses Brown on the merits of their academic and co-curricular achievements, the school provides scholarships to students and their families based solely on financial need…allowing MB to enroll extremely talented students who elevate the experience for all.

scholarship & athletics We believe in excellence on and off the field.
$7 million Endowed Scholarship-Athletic Facilities Initiative What Does Scholarship Have To Do With Upgrading Facilities? • 73% of new applicant families request financial aid, up from 43% just over a decade ago. Affordability is the #1 challenge MB faces in enrolling great students and sustaining its tradition of excellence. • More than 80% of middle and upper school students participate in at least one competitive sport, so increased funding for need-based scholarship* is critical to enrolling outstanding students who love to compete. • While in recent years MB has upgraded or built new facilities for many of our athletic programs, there continue to be increasingly urgent needs in athletic facilities. With this unique $7 million effort, the MB Administration and Board of Trustees are challenging our community to address both of these urgent needs which are essential to sustained success on and off the field. For every dollar given to the Endowed Scholarship-Athletic Facility Initiative, 50% funds new need-based endowed scholarships and 50% supports one of three athletic facility priorities. * Students are admitted to MB based on the merits of their academic achievements and personal qualities/talents; the school provides scholarships to students and their families based solely on financial need.

At Moses Brown we focus on training and competing at an exceptional level with integrity and honor. Our sports program emphasizes cooperation, sportsmanship, and teamwork. By learning to be part of a team, our students experience something bigger than themselves, working towards a common goal—together. They learn perseverance, develop self-discipline, and foster their own healthy physical development in a supportive environment to optimize not only their athletic potential, but character. With hundreds of state, league, and conference championships in our 235-year history, including state and nationally recognized athletes, our philosophy has proven to be successful year after year. More than 80% of middle and upper school students compete in at least one of 61 teams across 16 different sports. It’s been inspiring to watch these athletes carry on our school’s proud tradition in recent years. In fact, over a five year period 75 MB teams (out of a possible 125) qualified for post-season play and 22% of graduates have gone on to compete at the collegiate level. As gratifying, MB students are widely known for representing our school’s values in competition, with 22 teams having been recognized by their peers with state sportsmanship awards over the past five years.

“At MB, we see the playing field as an extension of the classroom. Teamwork, commitment, communication and working collectively towards a common goal are all important facets to the athletic and academic programs and are emphasized in every classroom and competition.” –Eric Aaronian, Head Coach, Boys’ Varsity Soccer, Chair, upper school science department
With scholarship requests on the rise and continued urgent needs in athletic facilities across campus, this unique initiative is designed to address both needs, keeping MB in the winner’s circle on and off the field.
Create Home ‘Stadium’—$2.3 million The most intensely used MB athletic facility, Campanella Field is home to four programs—field hockey, football, and boys’ and girls’ lacrosse—and is utilized by boys’ and girls’ soccer, numerous summer camps, and as a lower school outdoor play area. MB seeks to transform this space, creating a stadium that will make Quaker Nation proud and serve the hundreds of students who call it their athletic home. The project is slated to include: • Replacing current playing surface with the latest in artificial turf fields (current field is now beyond its useful life) • Re-imagined spectator sideline, including new seating and plaza (to be integrated into plans for the new lower school) • New scoreboard and press box • Safety netting and equipment storage
Create New Fitness Center—$800,000 MB has developed exciting plans to transform an underutilized 3,900 square foot auxiliary gym in the Waughtel-Howe Field House (known as ‘The Box’) into a stateof-the-art fitness and strength & conditioning center (see rendering at left). Whether helping student-athletes prepare for competition or rehabilitate from an injury, and promoting the health and wellness of our entire community, this new facility will be an incredible resource for everyone at MB. The project is slated to include: • Complete interior renovation of the space (flooring, lighting, electric, painting, etc.) • Installation of windows to allow natural light and visibility from interior hallway • New HVAC system to allow for comfortable year-round use • The latest in fitness and strength and conditioning equipment • Flexible design that would allow the space to host fitness classes
Major Upgrades to Moran Field—$400,000 In 2003, MB dedicated a new on-campus softball facility, Moran Field. This was a significant milestone, following on the program’s beginnings in 1978, when the team competed at a public playground field on Gano Street. Today, more than 40 years later, the program continues to evolve and improve. We seek to ensure our girls’ softball facility is among the best in the region, and on par with our recently upgraded baseball field. The project includes: • Constructing new, enclosed home and visiting dugouts • Creating new home and visiting bullpens • Extending/enhancing current batting cage • Installing permanent spectator seating
“Moses Brown Softball has taught me about the importance of working together and supporting the team no matter what happens in the game or practice. Whether you are still learning how to play or are playing at the top of your game, when your team is cheering you on, everything is better.”

Learning Expert Thinking Model
TRIps (Travel, Research, and Immersion Programs)
MB Bots, the middle school robotics team, along with their coach David Wasser, attended the VEXIQ Robotics Tournament in Mansfield, Conn. last winter.
We believe in learning through experience and in applying knowledge to solve real problems.
In February, all upper school students participated in MB Immersion. MB Immersion is a week-long program of nontraditional classroom settings, and seeks to stretch students in new and profound ways through deep inquiry, collaborative problem solving, trial and error experimentation, personal discovery, and reflection. Students chose from offerings ranging from local community service, the science of baking, filmmaking, design thinking, coding and many more. 22 | annual report 2018-19
MB sparks a hunger for learning, nurtures it with breadth and rigor, and fosters a lifetime habit of inquiry and reflection.
In June, nine upper school students along with two chaperones headed to NYC for four days of meaningful service and reflection focused on hunger and homelessness. MB partnered with the Youth Services Opportunity Project (YSOP); founded in 1983, YSOP is a non-profit organization rooted in the Quaker principals of integrity, equality, community, simplicity and peace that runs programs that touch the lives of more than 500,000 people in NYC and Washington, D.C. Students spent their days working in soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters in all five boroughs, as well as preparing and hosting dinner for residents of a nearby shelter.

In our work to build philanthropic support for today’s students and teachers, we also value the ways each person contributes to MB. With this values-centered approach in mind, we created The Grove to recognize our most loyal contributors. Members have given to MB for at least five consecutive years, starting on July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2019. Years of consecutive giving are noted in italicized numbers following the donor’s name. Based on the limitations of MB’s electronic donor records, 35 years of consecutive giving is the maximum we are able to confirm.

The Obadiah Brown Society More than 200 years ago, Moses Brown’s son Obadiah (1771-1822) established a model of giving for all who care about MB. His gift of $100,000— at that time, the largest single bequest to an educational institution in the United States—built a strong financial foundation for our school. We are so grateful to the many, many members of the MB community who have followed in Obadiah’s footsteps. The Obadiah Brown Society recognizes and acknowledges the generosity and vision of donors who have made a commitment to our community through the lasting impact of a planned gift. Becoming a member of the Obadiah Brown Society is easy. By completing a statement of intent and notifying us of your gift through a bequest, a charitable trust, life insurance, IRA beneficiary designation or other planned gift, you can become an OBS member and have the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a gift of a lifetime.

Kate and Shaun Levesque P’12 ’14 ’17 See Their Bequest to MB as a Multiplier “When we first started looking for a school for our sons, we were searching for a school with a strong academic program, but also a school with a sense of ethics and values. The MB mission talks about the inner promise of each student and care for learning, people, and place. We believe the education, care for each student and facilities offered at MB stack up against any other school in New England. We know the value of education and the difference it made for all five of us. Shaun was a first in his family to go to college. Kate had a great liberal arts education and is now leading a school in Dedham, Mass. We always
talk about how well MB prepared Eamon ’12, Will ’14, and Daniel ’17 academically and how they were able to find their interests in athletics and other co-curriculars. Top-notch education should be accessible and affordable for all, but that only happens if all of us help. For us, gifts to educational institutions have a multiplier effect associated with them—each student, educated well, and hopefully with a sense of ethics, has such potential to effect change in our world. Ensuring that MB has the resources to educate students for another 233+ years is important to our family.
Kate Levesque served on MB’s Board of Trustees from 2010-17, including as the Assistant Clerk of the Board. Continuing the tradition, Shaun became a Trustee in 2017 and is the current Treasurer and Clerk of Budget & Finance Committee.
For us, creating a bequest for MB to support teaching excellence was like the Nike ad—‘just do it.’ It takes a little work with your lawyer, but it is not that complicated, and the reward is infinite.”

Enrollment and Scholarship Overview While the size and quality of the applicant pool have all remained fairly stable over the last decade, scholarship demand has increased dramatically— providing the single greatest challenge to MB’s sustained excellence. Prior to the financial crisis of 2007-08, approximately 40% of applicants requested financial assistance. Ten years later, 72% of applicants for the 2017-18 school year applied for scholarship support. MB has met the challenge by more than doubling the scholarship budget since 2008-09 to $4.3 million in 2018-2019 and then up to $5.1 million for the 2019-2020 school year. As demand continues to grow, urgency has increased to meet the $15 million endowed scholarship objective of the MB Believes campaign. See page 18 for more information.

Endowment fuels the future
Like a smooth-running machine, Moses Brown’s fiscal engine is powered by income received through tuition, charitable donations, and annual distributions from endowed funds. Endowed funds, like 401k or 529 accounts, are saved and invested today for a specific purpose tomorrow. Endowment distributions help us provide the best education possible—supporting great teaching, academic and co-curricular programs, and scholarship. MB Believes is an opportunity to secure the financial future of Moses Brown. At the start of the campaign in 2013, MB had an endowment of just $23 million (amassed over nearly 230 years). With the ultimate success of MB Believes, the school will add over $28 million in new gifts to the school’s endowment, more than doubling its size. Thanks to recent fundraising success and market growth, as of June 30, 2019, MB’s endowment stood at $38.68 million. To secure MB’s reputation and strength, the school needs to build the financial resources to attract the best teachers and students and provide them with truly world-class facilities and programs. This campaign has the potential to catapult MB to a much stronger position among peer schools regionally and nationally.
