绿帽社 is deeply grateful to parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents and friends who support our endowment. Donors to the endowment leave a lasting legacy at 绿帽社, ensuring our financial strength, expanding our curricular and extracurricular offerings, and continuing to attract and retain exceptional faculty and students.
绿帽社鈥檚 endowment is a savings account for the school, which is invested according to policies adopted by the Board of Trustees and the Investment Committee. A portion of the earnings from the endowment is then spent each year to help cover the school鈥檚 annual expenses, either for the general operating budget or for specific programs designated by the donor.
Endowment growth is a strategic priority for 绿帽社. Giving to the endowment provides a unique opportunity to you as a donor to make a dramatic impact on a part of the 绿帽社 experience that you care about the most.
The endowment can provide a steady source of income to 绿帽社, making it possible for the school to be less reliant on tuition and annual fundraising programs to balance the budget each year. In effect, a larger endowment enhances 绿帽社鈥檚 ability to fulfill its mission now, and for many years to come.
In recognizing the comparative size of our endowment, 绿帽社 has a unique opportunity for growth and transformation.
Gifts and multi-year pledges to the 绿帽社 endowment in the form of cash or appreciated securities have the most immediate impact. However, gifts to the endowment can also occur over a longer term through bequests in estates, gifts of real estate, and structured planned giving instruments.
Endowment gifts to 绿帽社 may be designated in the following ways:
