Giving Day 2023
At WPI, giving back is in our DNA: in 1865, John Boynton gave his life savings to create an institute of higher learning. This Giving Day, starting at 12pm on September 13, you'll have 1,865 minutes to follow in his footsteps.
Your gift, to any designation, supports the innovators, educators, makers, and doers—our students, faculty, and alumni—who are changing the world and building a brighter future for people everywhere
