The Brookwood Fund

Annual giving serves as the cornerstone of Brookwood’s fundraising activities. The Brookwood Fund impacts every aspect of daily life at the school. Your support strengthens our academic program; your giving ensures that deserving students who would otherwise not be able to afford a Brookwood education can attend school here; and your philanthropy supports our amazing faculty and staff.

Like most independent schools, Brookwood is a philanthropically supported school. Tuition dollars cover roughly 79% of our total annual expenses. The support of our entire community; parents, grandparents, alumni, and employees help to bridge this gap.

Your contribution to our fundraising efforts further advances Brookwood’s mission to foster a joyful community of lifelong learners and upstanding global citizens who embrace a culture of curiosity, kindness, and academic accomplishment.

Together, we make a difference! Brookwood School values philanthropy at all levels and emphasizes the importance of participation from all members in the community. In a small (but mighty) community like Brookwood, every gift counts toward our goal and every gift matters – thank you for being an active and loyal supporter of our beloved school!

How much should I give?

We invite your family to give at a level that is meaningful to you. Each year, in addition to raising funds for special projects and our endowment funds, we receive gifts of all levels with the goal to raise over $450,000 for The Brookwood Fund. Contributions at every giving level are necessary to maintain the level of excellence that is the Brookwood experience.

When should I give?

Brookwood’s fiscal year runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Throughout the year, you will be given several opportunities to philanthropically support the school. Whether it be a Giving Day, our Annual Auction, other fundraising initiatives, or during annual mailing appeals. Our goal is to connect you, our donors, with opportunities to support Brookwood in a way that is meaningful.

Can I direct my gift to an area of importance to me?

Yes! Dollars raised for The Brookwood Fund support all areas of our school. Crucial to the successes of these efforts are unrestricted gifts to be used in the area of greatest need, however we recognize and celebrate the passions of our community and invite you to support The Brookwood Fund via one of the following designations for the 2022-23 school year. If there are other areas of interest that you would like to support, please be in touch.

Brookwood is an extraordinary institution but I do believe we have the opportunity to take our school to new and exciting places.
