Giving at Park

The Park Fund

The Park Fund impacts the life of every student. This annual, community-wide fundraising effort is essential to the Park experience. The Park Fund provides support for our diverse array of curricular and co-curricular programming, resources to attract and retain talented faculty, and tuition assistance for a broad range of families.

Each year, a Park education is made possible by the community’s commitment to The Park Fund. Parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, employees, and friends of Park contribute essential support that strengthens the entire school. Thank you to every donor who makes Park a philanthropic priority.

Endowment Giving

The Park School began building its endowment in 1968. Now, almost 60 years later, Park’s endowment stands at more than $70,000,000.

This robust growth is due to generous contributions, thoughtful stewardship, and sound internal policies for endowment management.

The endowment currently supports general operations, tuition assistance, faculty professional development, and many co-curricular student activities. 

Supporting Park’s endowment with cash, securities, and/or planned gifts sustains and improves Park’s ability to provide an extraordinary educational experience for our students and faculty. All of Park School’s endowed funds are invested and managed by The Park School Investment Committee in partnership with outside investment advisors. Currently, the school takes a 4.5% draw from an endowed fund’s most recent 12-quarter rolling average.
