Get Ready to March4MHC!

Posted in: Announcements, Giving

It’s time to raise your voice for MHC.

The seventh annual March4MHC Challenge is happening from March 5–6, 2026!

Our bold goal? To reach 5,000+ donors. Last year, an incredible 5,181 members of our community participated, and with your support, we can reach new heights in 2026.

To amplify the power of participation, anonymous donors will give $25,000 to The Mount Holyoke Fund for every 250 donors, up to $500,000!

Higher education is being challenged, and the values that define Mount Holyoke — intellectual curiosity, global community and purposeful leadership — must be defended. Gifts to The Mount Holyoke Fund do just that by supporting scholarships and the academic and cocurricular experiences that help students thrive. March4MHC is a way to take action together. 


**Show Your Pride: March4MHC Thank-You Gifts**

When we give together, Mount Holyoke moves forward — and we’re excited to celebrate your participation.

As a thank-you for making a gift during March4MHC, you may choose to receive an exclusive Mount Holyoke College “Forged in Dissent” item based on your gift amount:

  • Under $75: Forged in Dissent sticker
  • $75–$999: Forged in Dissent bandana
  • $1,000+: Forged in Dissent baseball hat

These limited-edition items are a bold way to show your MHC pride and the spirit that defines our community.


Who can participate? (Hint… it’s everyone!)
This is a real community challenge — any alum, family member, student, faculty or staff member, or friend of the College is welcome to participate! Each donor will be counted only once, so encourage all of your classmates, friends and family to join the fun so we can earn the full $500,000 in challenge funds.
