The Fund for Garrison Forest

THE FUND

When you contribute to The Fund for Garrison Forest, you provide exceptional opportunities for all GFS girls.

The extraordinary generosity and commitment of our parents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends help Garrison Forest excel at educating girls of bright promise and character. More than 1,300 alumnae, parents, and friends collectively contributed $4.1 million last year to support The Fund for Garrison Forest, endowment, financial aid, capital projects, faculty, and more. We are deeply grateful for your generosity!

Philanthropic support to The Fund for Garrison Forest fuels 7% of the school’s yearly budget. These resources allow us to strengthen our academic, athletic, and art programs, while keeping tuition increases as low as possible.

Thank you for considering a gift The Fund for Garrison Forest! If you have any questions, are interested in volunteering, or would like more information on giving opportunities, please contact us at 410-559-3134. Together we are GFS!

ALUMNAE

Garrison Forest would not be the School it is today without the spirit and dedication of generations of alumnae who continually support their school in so many ways. Every year, the largest portion of money raised for The Fund and the largest number of gifts come from alumnae!

Fund dollars go directly to support students and teachers, but every alumna gift, counts toward our alumnae participation percentage. We need a high alumnae participation rate to keep pace with our peer schools and demonstrate that GFS alumnae believe in their school and the unique educational experience it offers. Every gift makes a difference, and we are grateful for your support!

PARENTS

All parents, from preschool to seniors, are asked to participate in The Fund for Garrison Forest. Tuition does not fully cover the actual cost of educating our students and operating the school, and all independent schools depend on an annual giving program to help make up this difference. Every dollar of The Fund directly benefits your children and their teachers.

Furthermore, parent participation is a crucial benchmark for the health and spirit of a school community. A high level of parent support has a multiplying effect, inspiring others to give and helping generate additional funding for exciting programs and innovations.

Thank you for your support!
