The Annual Giving Campaign
As is the case at most independent schools, the income generated by tuition at Gillispie does not cover the cost of educating a child. The Annual Giving Campaign bridges the shortfall between tuition income and expenses. Your donation to the School’s most important campaign is 100% tax-deductible. The Gillispie School Board of Trustees, families, faculty, and staff have participated at the 100% level for eight consecutive years. We are proud of this extraordinary effort.
Your family will receive a personal letter and pledge card to support The Annual Giving Campaign in October. This year’s campaign goal is $310,000 and 100% parent participation. You may make a pledge payable over the course of the fiscal year, and matching gifts from your employer can help you to increase the size of your gift. Gifts may be paid by cash, check, credit card, or securities.
Spring Gala & Auction
This yearly auction and dinner event directly benefits the children of The Gillispie School with funds that support the School’s operating budget. The event is organized by parent volunteers and provides a festive evening for parents and friends. “Viva Gillispie” is our theme for this year’s gala, to be held on Saturday, March 31, at the beautiful Estancia Hotel. Volunteer opportunities include support for a silent, live, and wine auctions.
