The McGillis Fund:
Supporting Every Magpie,
Every Day

Every part of the School is impacted by your gift to The McGillis Fund. Program development, faculty salaries, counseling, field trips, class trips, financial aid, library resources, science equipment, art supplies, drama and music productions, on-campus speakers, up-to date technology, athletic equipment, and much more rely on your giving. Because the School uses your McGillis Fund gifts in so many ways, it is most helpful to give an unrestricted gift, which allows us the flexibility to meet immediate needs and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. We will always steward your gift to its highest and best use for the School.

Everyone in the McGillis community! Parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, faculty and staff, and friends of the School come together each year to contribute.

High levels of parent participation signal community confidence in the people and programs that make McGillis special. Outside funders often consider parent participation when making funding decisions.

Yes! Please recommend a gift to The McGillis School via your DAF and indicate that the gift is for The McGillis Fund.

We ask all members of our kehilah (community) to consider making a gift that feels significant for them, and as early in the school year

as possible. We are happy to accommodate a pledge commitment before December 31 to be paid in installments that will be completed

by June 30, the end of our fiscal year.

 

We are proud to have a diverse population at The McGillis School, and therefore the gifts we receive range widely in size. We simply ask

that all families stand together by participating at a level that feels right for them.
