[WHAT]

WHAT IS THE WHITFIELD FUND? Our top fundraising priority each year, the Whitfield Fund, helps bridge the gap between income we receive from tuition and the actual cost of a Whitfield education.

The Whitfield Fund supports our curriculum and extracurricular activities, attracts and competitively compensates the very best teachers, ensures low studentteacher ratio and maintains our beautiful 26-acre campus.

Your gift positively impacts the Whitfield experience for EVERY student.

[WHY]

[HOW]

WHY IS ANNUAL FUND PARTICIPATION IMPORTANT?

HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE TO THE WHITFIELD FUND?

A high level of participation in the Whitfield Fund demonstrates our community’s belief in our school and its mission. Last year the school raised $1.1 million dollars in unrestricted annual support with 73% of parents and 100% employees giving to this important fund. We seek 100% participation from current families each year.

We encourage every member of the Whitfield community to make a personally meaningful gift.

Depending on circumstances that could be $25 or $25,000. Our leadership giving level begins at $1,000.

Gifts from many members of our community at this level or above allow us to meet our annual financial goal.

GIVE BIG – whatever that may mean for you.

WHY NOT JUST RAISE TUITION?

We welcome contributions by check, credit card, or securities.

You can also make a pledge now and pay later.

All pledges must be paid in full by June 30, 2023.

With tuition intentionally set below full cost, the Whitfield Fund gives families the opportunity to support the school through tax-deductible donations and not just tuition increases. Every student benefits from the Whitfield Fund as dollars raised surpass what is possible with tuition alone, enhancing every student’s experience.
