McVeigh Endowment Description

Peter C. McVeigh 1760 Upper School Director of Community Service
and
Peter C. McVeigh 1760 Day of Service

In lasting remembrance of Peter C. McVeigh 1760, members of the Germantown Academy community have joined together to raise a minimum of $100,000 to endow the Peter C. McVeigh 1760 Upper School Director of Community Service and the Peter C. McVeigh 1760 Day of Service.

The McVeigh Endowment will offer permanent financial support to perpetuate and enhance the Upper School Community Service program, as well as dedicate a day of service in memory of Peter McVeigh to engage our students further in meaningful service learning.

The invested funds will:

Provide Annual Budgetary Needs for CSO:
To continue its mission to raise awareness and work directly with people and organizations related to the significant and enduring impact of service that Peter McVeigh valued.

Offer new opportunities
By expanding the work of CSO such as engaging speakers and civic leaders to share with students various challenges and needs in local, national and international communities.

Connect GA Students:
To the larger national and worldwide need, which was a passion of Peter’s. The hope is that broadening and deepening the connection to a variety of issues could springboard broader collaborative action on the Peter C. McVeigh 1760 Day of Service.

"Participating in community service is making a statement. Students learn that there is a big world out there, and that they have to help people who are in need. This is a key component of a quality education."
