Special Appeals and Matching Challenges
New Playground Appeal One of the many things we love about Grace is all the time our young Gryphons spend outdoors, and we're raising funds for Grace's first new playground in over 25 years. Let's add a bit of extra challenge and fun to the play experience!
Jane and Tony Santy Scholarship Fund Appeal At it's core, Grace's mission is dependent upon our ability to provide an accessible and equitable education to all our families. This Fund supports our Community Tuition Program, which allows us to celebrate a socio-economically diverse community where all children can learn, grow, and belong.
Help us meet our Matches: When we raise $25,000, a donor will match dollar for dollar for a new Playground. And when we raise $15,000 for the Santy Scholarship Fund, Chris Santy will match dollar for dollar in honor of his parents and their belief in the promise of a Grace education. We can do this together. Any size gift helps.
Last year nearly 200 donors came together to raise over $53,000! Like all independent schools, Grace’s annual budget depends on financial gifts received through fundraising and Grace Give Day is a piece of the pie. When you give a tax-deductible donation to Grace, you're not just making a one-time contribution. You're igniting a ripple effect that reaches far and wide, touching lives, and transforming communities. Your gift of any size becomes the pebble that starts a wave of positive change.
Your gift to the annual fund helps support all areas of education and community at Grace this school year -- empowering students to learn and grow. By supporting Grace, you help teach young minds to be kind, curious, empathetic and passionate members of their community.
Your gift supports Campus Care: Your gift will help to improve our physical campus and ensure that Grace is a beautiful and joyful place for children to grow and play. With this year's special appeal for a new playground, your gift will have an impact now and for many years to come.
Your gift supports Access to Education📓: Your gift will be go towards supporting the Jane and Tony Santy Scholarship Fund which helps make a Grace education financially accessible for all of our families. This signature program allows us to create a more equitable and socio-economically diverse community.
Your gift supports Student Programs 🌎: Your gift will go towards creating more experiential resources and extracurricular opportunities for our students. This includes staff support for afterschool clubs and materials for new Project Based Learning activities.
This campaign ends at 10am on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Help us tell our story by donating at geds.org/give/donate/.
