Giving Opportunities

The Summit Fund is the primary way for alums, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends to support the annual operations of our school. By giving, you help Summit take advantage of mission-driven, real-time innovations that keep a Summit education dynamic— both in and out of the classroom. Annual participation is strongly encouraged.

Make your gift go twice as far! Matching gifts from your employer are a great way to leverage additional dollars to support Summit. Please check with your company to see if they can assist you with this process. Remember that gifts from spouses and retirees may also be eligible.

Summit’s planned giving society, Patrons for Tomorrow was established to recognize those who have made provisions for a planned gift to Summit School. There are many ways you can leave a lasting legacy and ensure that Summit remains strong for generations to come.

Invested Reserves (Endowment)

Summit’s endowment funds, established in 1959, have grown to more than $16,500,000 and generate $800,000 annually for the operating budget. The Board’s policy is to spend 5% of a three year rolling average of the value of the endowment for operations. Gifts to the general endowment fund are always welcome; additionally a gift of $50,000 or more can establish a permanent, named endowment.
