Investing in a St. George's Education

Each year, the St. George’s Annual Fund enables and enriches many of the most distinctive aspects of a St. George’s education and prepares our graduates for college, career, and a life lived bravely and beautifully. Like most independent schools, tuition and fees alone do not completely cover the cost of the extraordinary educational experiences given to our students.

We are so thankful for the generosity of our parents, alumni, grandparents and friends, whose financial support is vital to the educational experience we offer our students. Whether you give to the Annual Fund, support specific programming, or remember us through estate planning, we are grateful for your generosity of time, treasure and ties.

Money directed towards the Annual Fund is immediately put to use:

The advancement staff is excited to work with you to ensure that your philanthropic goals are met while supporting the needs of the school. Please contact us as you think about your charitable giving or for more information. Thank you for your support!
