Melissa's duPont Manual Alumni Fundraiser

A few items which highlight our efforts:

Supporting the Next Generation of Alumni

Scholarships: Over the past 30 years, the association has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships. In 2024 alone, over $40,000 was awarded to graduates.

Endowed Funds: The association manages a portfolio of endowed scholarship and academic improvement funds. These funds, donated by alumni and individuals seeking to promote academic excellence, are managed and administered by the association to ensure long-term impact.

Supporting the School, Students, and Faculty

In 2023, through the Academic Endowment Fund, General Fund, and generous alumni donors, the association was able to fund two development programs for Manual staff and administrators.  Fund improvements to the school's courtyard. Support a school-wide multicultural event for students.  Facilitate fundraising for select school events.  As well as other investments in programs to support students and faculty.  

Connecting Alumni

Newsletter: The association produces a quarterly newsletter providing updates on alumni, reunions, the school progress, athletic achievements and profiles of alumni.  We help connect those those planning reunions to announce and promote their events as well as provide a venue for them to give to scholarships.  The association hosts luncheons and events that give alumni a chance to reconnect, learn and make new friends.  The organization manages the duPont Manual Hall of Fame inductions and annual induction luncheon.
