This campaign calls on 100 women to each commit $1 million to open doors for deserving students who have lost access to education, or who have been impacted by war, political unrest, or socio-economic challenges. It is a bold investment in their potential, their leadership, and their right to rise.

Maggie Gilliam ’55, one of Wall Street’s first female analysts, built her career by spotting game-changing potential before anyone else. She recognized the promise of companies like Walmart, The Home Depot, Costco, and William Sonoma long before they became household names. That same conviction—the ability to see scale, possibility, and impact—brought her back to St. Margaret’s School. As a proud SMS alumni and lifelong advocate for girls’ education, Maggie stepped forward with a landmark $10 million gift to help launch the 100 Women, 100 Million campaign—one of the largest donations in the School’s 117-year history.

Her investment is about opening doors for girls who are ready to lead, but held back by circumstance. Maggie’s support of the Global Girls Scholarship Program is already shaping a different future—one where young women around the world gain the confidence, tools, and access to rise. Her belief in St. Margaret’s mission has ignited a growing movement of women who are stepping forward to build a legacy of education, equity, and leadership that will ripple across generations.
