| | Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About The Howard Fund! Q: My family is already paying tuition. Why should we make a gift to The Howard Fund as well?
A: Your financial contribution to The Howard Fund provides resources that go beyond what tuition alone can provide. Tuition covers approximately 90% of our operating budget; therefore, gifts to The Howard Fund are a necessary part of our healthy financial profile. Gifts are put to work in the year they are given, supporting the programs, resources, and experiences that enrich learning both inside and outside the classroom. Just as importantly, annual giving gives Howard the flexibility to respond to new needs and take advantage of opportunities that can make an immediate difference for our students. Q: How much should I give to The Howard Fund?
A: Every family is encouraged to contribute at a level that feels meaningful to them. Click here to learn more about The Howard School Giving Societies. Q: How do I make a stock gift or a gift through my Donor Advised Fund?
A: Giving via stock or a donor advised fund is a simple and valuable way to contribute. Click here for details on how to get started. Q: When should I make my Howard Fund gift?
A: Today! The earlier we receive your gift, the earlier we can put it to work for our students. Every Howard Fund gift directly benefits the students in the year it’s given. Click here to donate today! Q: Does The Howard School Accept Employer Matching Gifts?
A: Absolutely! Please check here or ask your employer if they have a Matching Gift Program. This is a great way to double and sometimes triple your gift |
