Ways to Give to School of the Woods
School of the Woods does not require and has never sought gifts as a condition of enrollment. We are grateful, however, for gifts from parents, alumni and others. Here are some ways to give to School of the Woods.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN: Direct contribution to Capital campaigns to build replacements for clasrooms – one-sum cash, extended pledge, stocks/bonds.
ACORN FUND: Gifts to the Acorn Fund, annual and year-round financial aid fund for need-based tuition support.
PARENTS EVENTS:
- Direct contribution to a specific classroom or program;
- Inkind gifts of goods to specific Lower School classrooms, the Middle School or High School;

MISCELLANEOUS:

- Contributions in honor of an individual or in memory accomplish two goals.
