The Fund for East Woods
Why is The Fund for East Woods So Important?
The Fund for East Woods, formerly known as the Annual Fund or Annual Giving, is the cornerstone of East Woods’ fundraising efforts. East Woods, like most independent day schools, receives no public funding and tuition does not cover the full cost of an East Woods education. The Annual Fund is the single most important event to bridge that gap.
Gifts to the Annual Fund are applied directly into the current year operating budget. Annual Giving allows us to enhance our classrooms with innovative and interactive learning tools, support faculty salaries and professional development opportunities, increase resources for financial aid, and enrich the curriculum provided to our students.

Why is participation so important?
Each year we ask all members of our community to make a gift to The Fund for East Woods. Through Annual Giving, all alumni, parents, grandparents and friends can express their philanthropic commitment to East Woods, and make a gift that is personally meaningful. Every gift, regardless of size, is important because it is a gift of participation, which signals the loyalty and support of our community.
