Development

The Annual Giving Fund helps close the gap between tuition and the true cost of a Grace education. Like nearly all independent schools, Grace Episcopal School receives no federal, state or local aid, and tuition revenue covers only 80% of the cost of educating each student. We are dependent upon our community of parents, grandparents, alumni and friends to provide the support that is critical to the daily operation of our school. Gifts to the Annual Fund support virtually every aspect of a Grace education, from the classroom to the playing field, art and music, maintenance of our facilities, and professional development for our faculty and staff.

Our first goal is 100% participation. A gift of any size will help us reach that goal. We hope that every family will contribute as their means allow, and that every family finds a way to participate.

You can make a tax deductible donation to the Annual Giving Fund through the following ways of giving:

Cash and Credit Cards

A gift of cash is the most popular type of charitable gift. Make a gift online, at Greater Giving -Grace Episcopal School or pick up a remittance envelope in the school office. If you prefer to write a check, please make it payable to the Grace Episcopal School Annual Giving Fund or GES AGF.

Pledge Payments

You may make a pledge to be paid at a later date, or pay in installments over the course of our fiscal year, which ends June 30.

Matching Gifts

Many corporations offer matching gift programs that may double the value of your gift. Please contact your Human Resources office to learn more about your company's matching gift policy.

Stock Gifts

A gift of appreciated securities often provides significant tax advantages for the donor. Please call the GES Development Office at (703) 549-5067 for transfer instructions.
