Guilford Madness 2026 was a remarkable success.

Together, our community received $1,286,481 from 616 donors, reaching 128% of our $1,000,000 goal.

This was not just a campaign.

It was a collective act of belief in Guilford and in our students.

From recent graduates to milestone reunion classes, Guilfordians came together in a powerful way.

Gifts given provide immediate, flexible support where it is needed most, including critical financial aid that helps students stay enrolled and thrive.

If you visit the campaign page, you can see where gifts were given.

How you gave:

Guilfordians showed up in every way possible.

Gifts came in online, through mailed checks, Qualified Charitable Distributions, stock transfers, and other methods. Each one played a role in reaching and surpassing this goal.

What this means:

Your support ensures that Guilford students have access to scholarships, opportunities, and the full educational experience that defines this community.

It also sends a clear message: Guilfordians believe in this place and in one another.

Looking ahead:

Guilford Madness 2026 has set a new standard for what we can accomplish together.

Because of you, we are carrying this momentum forward as we continue to strengthen Guilford and support the students who call it home.
