The Episcopal Fund

The Episcopal Fund is the foundation of philanthropy at Episcopal. It is the largest fundraiser each year, and it provides the school with the greatest flexibility to deliver a first-rate education without substantial tuition increases. Tax deductible gifts to The Episcopal Fund go directly into the operating budget, where they are used in the current year.

Matching Gifts and More

MATCHING GIFTS

Whether you give cash or securities, yours may be one of the many employers who offer matching-gift programs which double – and in some cases even triple – the value of your gift to the school. These gifts can mean thousands of dollars for Episcopal.

Please contact your employer for matching gift guidelines for your company.
