I am happy to support The Fund because I know the Garrison Forest I remember is alive and well. The campus may look different, but the true landscape of GFS is still the same.

 I know my daughters are able to experience the same supportive and spirited community I knew as a student.

I give because Garrison Forest gave so much to me.

Tuition has never covered the full cost of a Garrison Forest education. Each year The Fund for Garrison Forest makes up approximately 6% of the operating budget, covering expenses like financial aid, teacher salaries and benefits and classroom and athletic equipment.

We all have different reasons to give to Garrison Forest—to support current students and their dedicated teachers, to honor our own GFS connections, to show the world what the School means to us.  Every gift makes a difference, so we hope you will think about why you give—and why your gift is so important, this year and every year.
