Our 40th Anniversary Campaign

To celebrate 40 years of leadership and impact, Leadership Greater Washington is launching a special anniversary campaign powered by our alumni community.

For four decades, LGW has served as a trusted convener, connector, and catalyst, bringing together leaders across sectors and communities to address the issues shaping Greater Washington. As our region faces increasingly complex challenges, this work remains more important than ever.

The 40th Anniversary Class Fundraiser Challenge invites alumni to invest in the future of LGW's mission and the next generation of regional leadership. Together, we aim to raise $125,000 to strengthen leadership development, advance cross-sector collaboration, and ensure LGW's impact continues for years to come.

DONATE TODAY

Each class is encouraged to raise $4,000, reflecting the collective strength of our alumni network. The class that raises the most will win a game day experience with the Baltimore Orioles.
