A gift to The Derryfield School extends far beyond its fiscal value. When you give to Derryfield, you have a hand in making extra-curricular experiences possible for students. You provide the resources for athletes to succeed in the face of gritty competition and artists to bring their creative dreams to life. Beyond that, you allow students who would not otherwise have access to the rigor and intellectual pursuits of a Derryfield education to find a home on campus with the help of financial aid.
There are a number of different ways to effectively support the School.
Capital and Endowment gifts are contributions to the School that fund projects which are not supported through the Annual Fund or the operating budget. Capital gifts allow The Derryfield School to accomplish projects that are part of the School’s long term strategic plan. The endowment serves as the School’s saving account and provides 5% of the revenue for the annual operating budget.
Planned Giving is an opportunity to support the School through your estate plans or other assets. These legacy gifts are the foundation of support for the next generation of Derryfield alumni. Those who have notified us of their plans are members of The 1964 Legacy Society.
The Derryfield School is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of personal information entrusted to us by our donors and prospective donors. Accordingly, we pledge to all of our supporters to protect your personal information.
We will never share your names, addresses, phone numbers or email addresses with any group or organization outside The Derryfield School.
All donors have the opportunity to opt out of our annual report publication that serves to recognize donors.
