Annual Giving
Annual giving is a core element of The Highlands School’s overall fundraising strategy and is an essential part of helping us meet our goals. Each year, the Annual Fund appeals to alumni, parents, grandparents and friends for support that makes a difference in the lives of our students.
The unrestricted support through the Annual Campaign is essential:
- It plays an increasingly important role in supplying funds for scholarships and helps balance the budget.
- It provides faculty training opportunities, library and computer resources.
- It supports special projects.
- It ensures the continued financial health of the school.
Gifts to the Annual Campaign may be eligible for company matching which increases the value of your gift. Ask your Human Resources department if your company matches gifts and give us a call if you need more information!
The Annual fund appeal is mailed out each fall. Most donors prefer to contribute prior to December 31 to receive any tax benefits for the calendar year; others make their gift before the end of the school’s fiscal year, which is August 31.
