MAKE A GIFT ALUMNI GOLF OUTING PLANNED GIVING ENDOWMENT

YOUR IMPACT

Our community’s commitment to our students and their education is a hallmark of Wardlaw+Hartridge. Because the W+H Fund supports every program on campus, it benefits every student every day. The Wardlaw+Hartridge School’s Annual Fund fills a critical role; funding unexpected needs, enhancing the educational experience, and providing additional opportunities for every student at Wardlaw+Hartridge not covered by tuition alone.

Like every independent school, Wardlaw+Hartridge does not receive any funding from federal, state, or local governments. We rely on tax-deductible Annual Fund gifts from parents, alumni, faculty, trustees, grandparents and friends to help bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of providing a superior education for our students.

Individuals can contribute cash, stocks, or other assets into the DAF and receive an immediate tax deduction. Those funds are invested for tax-free growth and the individual can recommend donations to charities of their choice over time.
