The McGillis School Endowment
A gift to the Endowment is an investment in the future of the School.
The McGillis School’s Endowment provides an ongoing source of sustained, long-term funding for McGillis, making it possible for the School to be less reliant on tuition and annual fundraising programs.
A strong endowment can contribute significantly to the School’s annual needs, including:
• supporting the general operating budget
• supplementing financial aid
• providing faculty professional development
• creating and maintaining specific programs designated by the donor
Gifts to the McGillis Endowment may be made as a one-time gift or multi-year pledge, through a gift of securities, or as an estate gift (bequest or trust). Ultimately, the Endowment ensures the School’s financial stability and enhances our ability to fulfill our mission now and for many years to come.
