Philanthropic support from our community is essential to maintaining our standard of excellence, and the most important way you can make a difference. Unrestricted, flexible support enables Head-Royce to attract and retain world-class faculty, as well as provide the very best programs and resources for our students.

The 100 Day Challenge is a period of 100 days in the fall when all parents are be invited to support the Annual Fund. By giving or pledging early, your dollars will be put to use immediately for our wonderful faculty and students. Our hope is that 100% of parents will participate by making a gift or pledge by December 31. 

Head-Royce is committed to remaining a diverse school. By keeping tuition increases at a competitive level and relying on Annual Fund support, Head-Royce is accessible to a wider range of students. We count on your generosity
to assure that every student can benefit from all that Head-Royce has to offer.

Every family at Head-Royce is encouraged to participate in a way that is personally meaningful. Every gift, whether large or small, makes a difference. Head-Royce strives for 100% participation from all current parents, Trustees, faculty & staff. Gifts range from $5 – $50,000, and make a significant impact on the daily experience of all Head-Royce students.

The Annual Fund campaign runs from September to December each year. In the fall, you will receive a letter requesting your support to the Annual Fund and a follow-up call from parent volunteers. We encourage you to make your gift or pledge by December 31 so donations can be put to immediate use. Pledges to the Annual Fund are payable by June 30 of each school year, so you can pledge in the fall, but pay in the spring, if you prefer.

Leadership giving begins at $3,000 and is one of the ways to make a significant impact on the daily experience of all Head-Royce students. Donors who join at the Mary E. Wilson Circle and above are invited to a reception each fall. Donors who join at the Anna Head Circle and above are invited to a private dinner with the Head of School in early spring.

Many companies double charitable gifts to independent schools. If your employer has a matching gift program you can often double the impact of your support with a simple form or click. To see if your company has a program visit our matching gifts page.

Capital campaigns occur every 5–7 years and provide funds for projects that fall outside the normal operating budget, such as campus expansions and endowment. Capital contributions are generally larger and made in addition to your Annual Fund gift, and can be pledged over three or more years. Annual Fund gifts are payable in one year, by the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
