St. Andrew's Fund


We're so grateful that you would like to include us in your family's charitable giving. Because it supports all of our students and many different areas of the school, we ask that you consider making a gift to the St. Andrew's Fund first. The St. Andrew's Fund supplements the areas of greatest need at St. Andrew's–directly supporting every student and faculty member. Every gift counts for every student!

Why is Participation Important?

High community participation is a vote of confidence in our school, our faculty, and our educational mission. This supports our philosophy that we must all work together to provide our children and the future generations of graduates with the best possible education.

Your Generosity Makes Possible:

  • Technology upgrades that promote equity, stimulate motivation, and encourage deeper problem-solving.
  • Opportunities for faculty professional development, keeping educators engaged with the latest training, as well as supporting better recruiting and retention.
  • Facilities updates to ensure a safe and comfortable environment, allowing students to focus on their education.

FAQ

List of 4 frequently asked questions.

  • I can’t make a large gift. Should I still give?

    Yes—every gift counts. Each year, gifts of $250 or less account for around $100,000 for the St. Andrew’s Fund. Without these contributions, we would not have been able to cover important student and faculty needs.
  • Can I give via wire or stock transfer?

    We accept gifts of securities and wire transfer.

    You can also make a gift online using a credit/debit card

    Or, make a gift by mail:

  • How can I double or triple my gift?

    Over 23,000 employers offer matching gifts. Yours could be one of them! We are so grateful for your support of the school, and your willingness to multiply that impact through a matching gift! See if your employer does charitable gift matching and arrange for your employer to match your gift.
  • How much should our family give?

    Every gift counts and makes a difference. Gifts have ranged from $10 to more than $100,000. We hope that all members of our school community recognize that their support is critical and will make an annual contribution that is meaningful and appropriate for their family.

    Leadership-Level Annual Giving for the St. Andrew’s Fund starts at $5,000. Unrestricted leadership-level gifts are recognized and celebrated throughout the school year. Learn more about the SAF Leadership Society
