Annual Report

Dear McGillis Families and Friends, We are pleased to present to you our very first Impact Report, a new way for us to show you how your giving directly influences everyday life at McGillis. In the following pages, you’ll read about the ways in which our culture of philanthropy impacts students, teachers, and the broader community. As we reflect on the 2023/2024 school year, we feel incredibly fortunate to have received gifts that are as varied as the interests and abilities of our kehilah. In addition to hundreds of volunteer hours and in-kind donations, 463 donors gave financially to the School in amounts that range from $1 to more than $10,000! Thanks to you, we raised $775,064 during the 2023/2024 school year, including:

 

• Total Tuition Assistance raised at McGillis at the Garden: $150,000

• Total donations toThe McGillis Fund: $407,024

• Total donations to TREEkun Olam: $25,859

We invite you to continue reading to learn more about the impact of philanthropy on our students, our teachers, and the community beyond our campus. Like the saplings planted by Family Groups at our annual TREEkun Olam, your good and kind deeds grow month upon month, year upon year, helping McGillis extend its commitment to repairing the world through our students and alumni. 

 

Every gift matters. And every time you give, you're putting one of our foundational values, tzedakah—giving to others—into practice. Your participation makes our school better in every way. Your generosity helps create learners who are committed to repairing the world. We honor YOU for the impact you made last school year!

 

With gratitude,

 

Jim Brewer Head of School Parent of Finn '21 & Lucy '23			Cory Sinclair Chair, Board of Trustees Parent of Adam '19 & Violet '26
