At Grace, our The Grace Fund advances the mission and values that define our community.

The Grace Fund supports every aspect of a Grace education. As the school’s unrestricted annual fund, it helps close the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating each student while giving the school the flexibility to respond to emerging needs and opportunities.

That flexibility is what allows Grace to live out its mission: the kindergartner who discovers the joy of reading; the fourth grader who discovers a gift for poetry; the middle school student who finds confidence on the volleyball court; and the shy high schooler who finds a voice on the debate team. Gifts to the Grace Fund sustain it all—academics, athletics, the arts, and the countless moments of discovery that shape a student's life at Grace.

 

A gift to the Grace Fund designated for Financial Assistance helps ensure that every student, regardless of financial circumstances, can participate fully in the life of the school.  It supports not only tuition assistance but also the opportunities that make a Grace education complete.

Gifts help cover expenses such as books and course materials, school trips, athletics equipment and uniforms, and—when the time comes—college visits, ensuring that every student can take full advantage of all that Grace has to offer.

A gift to the Grace Fund designated for Faculty Development invests in the people who make a Grace education possible. It supports professional growth, enabling our teachers to refine their practice, learn from colleagues, and continue growing in their craft throughout their careers.

Whether through graduate study, conferences, instructional coaching, or collaborative work with colleagues, these opportunities strengthen teaching, enrich student learning, and ensure that Grace remains a place where great teachers never stop learning.

Launched each fall, The Grace Fund makes up part of Grace's annual operating budget, directly funding day-to-day operations. Each year we strive for 100% parent participation. Gifts range in size from $5 to $100,000 and all are truly valued and appreciated. While a family at Grace, we ask that you make The Grace Fund your highest priority. Participating in The Grace Fund demonstrates our shared commitment to Grace’s mission and values. The Grace Fund closes on June 30.
