“I started volunteering when my daughter began middle school, six years ago. I wanted to have a presence at the School so that I could get to know her friends and teachers. Sharing my time with this community has been very rewarding for me. I am happy to continue to give back as my younger sons continue their education, as I feel there is no better way to show my gratitude for all that Hun has done and continues to do for my children.”
Meghan Hayes Riley '23, Will '27, and Jack '29 Chair, Parents’ Association

Philanthropic gifts to Hun provide roughly 8.6% of the School's operating revenue, playing a vital role in our daily operations and long-term financial stability. From annual giving to the Hun Fund to capital and endowment support, our donors help ensure that key initiatives like financial aid, academic and extracurricular programs, experiential learning, arts, faculty professional development, athletics, and campus improvements, are both sustained and evolving. Philanthropy is our engine of opportunity, providing the edge that makes a Hun education a one-of-a-kind experience.
Hun Fund The School’s highest priority as it touches all areas of the School — its operating budget, programs, people, and grounds — and is put to immediate use, ensuring a one-of-a-kind Hun experience.
The Endowment Provides a permanent source of income for the school and helps sustain and grow all programs and resources.
Capital Projects Transform and improve the physical campus — buildings, classrooms, fields, and so much more.
Tuition & Fees
Planned Giving Deferred gifts made through your estate plans are a wonderful way to honor your connection to Hun and create a lasting legacy.
Tuition only covers a portion of the Hun experience. Each student, regardless of full pay or financial aid, receives a $5,700 subsidy to cover what tuition does not.
PA Gala and Auction
Proceeds benefit the Hun Fund — Parents Fund, which supports initiatives such as faculty grants, prom transportation, community events, Family Weekend activities, and more.
OUR GOAL IS 100% PARENT PARTICIPATION.
Gifts of every size are celebrated and make a difference. Parent participation signals a vote of confidence in the School and is an important metric that signifies overall happiness with the institution.
How much does Hun expect me to donate annually?
Gifts of all sizes directly impact our students’ current school year. We ask that every family participate and make a gift that is meaningful according to their means.
GIFTS RANGE IN SIZE FROM $5-$75,000
The Hun School of Princeton’s fiscal year ends on June 30, 2025.
Our goal is 100% parent participation. Every gift is celebrated and makes a difference.
