What the 'Blazer Fund Supports

Your gift funds
what tuition cannot.

Nearly every independent school operates with a gap between what tuition covers and what a truly excellent education costs. Tuition income covers 92% of Woodlawn’s annual revenue. Charitable contributions, including the ‘Blazer Fund, cover the remaining 8%. That difference is not a rounding error. It is the margin between ordinary and extraordinary.

Gifts to the ‘Blazer Fund have funded teacher wish lists, playground renovations, a new gym floor, upgraded HVAC and technology systems, professional development in project-based learning for every faculty member, and need-based financial aid that keeps Woodlawn accessible to families who belong here.

Salaries + Benefits
78% of the annual budget goes directly to faculty and staff salaries and benefits. Attracting and retaining the best teachers is the single most important investment Woodlawn makes.
Tuition Assistance
9% of the annual budget supports need-based financial assistance, keeping Woodlawn accessible to every family who belongs here, regardless of financial circumstance.
Programs + Campus Operations
12% covers program and activity costs, campus operations, technology, and professional development, all of which the ‘Blazer Fund directly supports.
Professional Development
Woodlawn invests in its faculty and staff through ongoing professional development in project-based learning, instructional innovation, and leadership. Every gift to the ‘Blazer Fund helps ensure our teachers remain among the best-equipped in independent education.
