While Annual Fund is used for annual expenses of the operating budget, endowment funds are applied to special programs, faculty compensation, financial aid, and building projects. Endowment is essential to a school’s long-term financial security and guarantees that the institution will flourish for generations to come. It also helps the school adapt to changing times and various economic pressures. Annual funds help us live; endowment funds help us grow.
All gifts designated to any endowment maintained by the school are considered restricted gifts with the income used only in accordance with the school's investment policy. The school encourages unrestricted gifts to the general endowment fund; however, gifts to any of the school's named endowment funds are also welcome.
Among the named endowment funds are two that provide financial aid for deserving students, both begun with generous bequests.
The Norma and Alan Hill Memorial Fund was established to honor one of our school’s early trustees and his wife. Norma Hill’s wish was that awards from the fund make “a significant difference” in the life of a child.
The Susan Buder Horan Memorial Fund is named for founder Susan Garlinghouse’s mother and serves as a fitting tribute to a woman who loved her family and prized educational opportunity.
To make an endowment gift, please contact Development Director Mary Loftus.
