A MESSAGE FROM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MILWAUKEE

Thank you for your support! University School of Milwaukee owes its existence to the generosity of countless supporters over the years. We are eternally grateful for the time, talent, and treasure our many donors continue to pour into our school. USM seeks to develop learners, foster leaders, and prepare citizens for life outside our school walls. Cultivating our future leaders requires a dedication to excellence—an unwavering commitment that resonates throughout our campus.

As we strive for excellence inside the classroom, our Common Trust must also be at the forefront of all we do. Teaching students our values of respect, trust, honesty, fairness, and kindness is one of our highest priorities. Today, our world is increasingly polarized, and we seek a way to help galvanize our community as we create future leaders. We believe the Common Trust is powerful enough to make a di erence in many ways.

In the 2023–24 school year, we are excited to combine our dedication to excellence with our commitment to the Common Trust. Your philanthropic support allows us to explore the intersections of values and curriculum. You help us bring students to campus who will enrich the tapestry of our school community in every way possible, and you support our greatest resource—our teachers—as they seek to make University School of Milwaukee one of the strongest schools in the nation.

Thank you to all who have given so generously to USM.

THE USM FUND SUPPORTS USM’S EXCELLENCE

We are grateful to all members of the University School of Milwaukee community who demonstrated their generous commitment by providing support to the USM Fund, our annual giving campaign, last year. Gifts to the USM Fund make possible many critical enhancements that are visible and tangible on our campus. What you don’t see, however, is equally as important.

The USM Fund influences every element of the USM experience—our academic and extracurricular programs, our ability to keep annual tuition increases to a minimum, financial support for faculty and sta salaries, and our ability to maintain and improve our expansive and impressive campus. This nimble resource enables USM to prioritize and support projects and respond immediately to innovative ideas and important needs as they arise. It is essential to the school’s day-to-day operations and positively impacts each student every day.

Whether you’re a proud parent or grandparent, a dedicated employee, a loyal alum, or even a student yourself, your support last school year meant so much. Thank you for contributing to the USM Fund.

ENDOWMENT FUND REPORT

University School of Milwaukee’s endowment is an essential investment in the school’s ability to maintain its leading edge as a nationally ranked independent school. From academics to athletics, and arts to innovation, life at USM is rich with activities as diverse as our student population. These valuable activities require funding to support the people and programs that contribute to the attainment of the school’s annual objectives. The school’s endowment, which originated with the predecessor schools and increases in value over time thanks to donor contributions and market growth, provides a significant portion of this funding annually. USM is grateful for all donors who have supported the endowment throughout the years, including over new investors who established a new restricted endowed fund this year.

As of June 30, 2023, USM’s endowment has a value of $95 million and consists of a combination of general endowment as well as nearly 100 named, endowed funds (listed on the adjacent page) established by USM donors to directly support school priorities. In keeping with our long-standing endowment policy, 5% of the average fund value from the trailing eight quarters is distributed to the fund’s designated program, or in the case of general endowment, to all aspects of the school’s core mission. In this manner, the endowment inspires our community members to invest in an area of school life that is meaningful to them and their families while helping to educate USM students as learners, leaders, and citizens.

For independent schools like USM, endowment is the di erentiator between sustaining and thriving. The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) has established a guideline that independent schools should aim to achieve an endowment valued at three times their annual budget in order to be a successful school into the next decade. At USM we take this very seriously as we approach, but have not yet achieved, this level. USM’s Endowment Board is led by President Tom Florsheim ’76 and is comprised of former members of the Board of Trustees. The endowment is managed by CommonFund, a nonprofit investment management firm that serves over 2,000 independent schools, universities, and nonprofit organizations. The school’s endowment policy follows a long-term investment strategy, calling for a 75/25 equity-to-fixed income ratio with meaningful international exposure and a careful commitment to alternative investments such as private equity. The thoughtful generosity of our donors allows the endowment to continue supporting our students and school of today and the future.

SENIOR GIFT PROGRAM

This 2023 Senior Gift program aimed to empower student involvement in the gift process. Will Piper, assistant director of alumni relations and reunion giving, shared insights on philanthropy’s significance and USM’s culture of generosity with the seniors. Subsequently, eight students volunteered for the Senior Class Gift Committee, meeting consistently throughout winter to conceptualize a class gift. The Class of 2023 decided on the “Class of 2023 Grove” and fundraising for a chosen bench, alongside initiating an endowed fund to perpetually support future USM students.

Committee members included Libby Cox, Louis D’Olhaberriagu, Emery Endres, Evelyn Graham, Jackson Lamanna,Einthiri Mudili, Osi Igwe, and Mackenzie Petersen. The committee drafted a letter seeking donations for the Senior Class Gift, striving for inclusivity by suggesting a $23 contribution per student to cover the bench cost. In addition, a separate appeal was made to families asking them to consider contributing to this cause.

The Senior Class Gift appeal garnered significant success, amassing 43 unique gifts that totaled over $12,000. This encompasses the bench’s cost, naming the Class of 2023 grove, and initiating an endowed fund that will continue to grow beyond $35,000. Subsequent gifts from the Class of ‘23 will contribute to this endowed fund. Class Agents Emery Endres and Einthiri Mudili from the Class of ‘23 will collaborate with the assistant director of alumni relations and reunion giving to oversee and allocate the fund once it reaches the $35,000 milestone.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION REPORT

USM’s Parents’ Association (PA) is an integral part of our school community, fostering a culture of generosity and building connections between parents and the school. Every parent or guardian is a member of the PA, and actively participating in this organization is a rewarding way for them to stay involved in their child’s education and contribute to the school’s overall success. Through various events and initiatives organized by the PA, parents have the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other parents, creating a strong sense of community within the school. Furthermore, the PA plays a crucial role in fundraising e orts, having donated over $600,000 in the last five years. Funds raised support PA-sponsored student and family activities and campus-wide initiatives made possible by the USM Fund. Through community, communication, collaboration, and contribution, the Parents’ Association continues to demonstrate its commitment to our school and families.

Last year, the Parents’ Association reevaluated its annual events and fundraisers to ensure they aligned with the school’s mission and created a support network for our families. Holiday Shops remains its main source of fundraising, which helps contribute financial support to activities that create a supportive, engaged, and inclusive school community.

A new initiative, the spring Give and Grow Participation Drive, enhanced the partnership with our school. During a dedicated week in April, Parents’ Association leadership e ectively communicated the importance of the USM Fund to our parent/guardian community, leading by example and sharing specific reasons why it is crucial. As a result, the parent/guardian participation rate increased significantly, demonstrating strong community involvement and support for our school and families.
