About
Please note: Our Day of Giving has been rescheduled to December 12, 2024—all gifts from the start of the early bird giving period (10/18) until December 12th will be counted towards the Day of Giving. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.
One Day. One KUA. - December 12, 2024.
It all began with one gift. Daniel Kimball pledged one gift that transformed the lives of so many and forever shaped the landscape of a place of opportunities.
Now, 211 years later, Kimball Union Academy still relies on the generosity of individuals to move KUA forward so that future generations of students can discover the joy of a KUA experience and find their purpose in the world. Individuals like you have – our alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends – keep Daniel Kimball’s dream alive today.
One gift can make a difference. Together we can make an impact.
Special Initiatives
In Loving Memory of Macy Piersiak ‘25
We remember Macy Piersiak ‘25, a beloved student who tragically passed away on November 10th. Macy’s radiant spirit and kindness touched everyone at KUA, and she will be deeply missed by our community. A scholarship fund has been created to honor Macy’s legacy at KUA. Your gift, in memory of Macy, will provide scholarship support to future KUA students. If you would like to make a gift to the fund, please make sure to choose ‘Macy Piersiak KUA Scholarship’ from the dropdown menu when making your donation.
