REACHING OUR GOALS

Our goal for the Thanks for the Giving campaign is to reach 100% community participation! Thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support of the Woodlawn Way.
INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
PHILANTHROPY
A vibrant culture of philanthropy helps to sustain Woodlawn School’s innovative educational model and shapes the lives of lifelong learners. Philanthropy at Woodlawn School is met through current and sustainable giving. Our top priority is the ‘Blazer Fund. Our sustainable giving is met through gifts to endowment and capital projects. The annual extras that enhance the Woodlawn experience are met through parent giving and volunteer programs.

ENDOWMENT GIFTS
Endowment gifts secure the school’s financial foundations, and they have the potential to reduce the school’s reliance on tuition and annual giving. Because we are a young school, our efforts to build an endowment are just beginning. For more information, please contact Rainie Hutchinson.
CAPITAL GIFTS
Woodlawn’s 61-acre campus, our 9 buildings, our track and playing fields, roads, and trails are the product of capital gifts we received during the first 20 years of our history. As our school grows, so will our need for new facilities. Gifts to Capital Campaigns turn new dreams into reality and benefit generations to come. For more information, please contact Rainie Hutchinson.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
WHY GIVE?
Donations to Woodlawn are an investment in excellence and affordability.
Nearly all independent schools rely on annual donations because tuition doesn’t cover the full cost of educating each child. Woodlawn is no different; we rely on annual donations from our parents, grandparents, alumni, foundations, and our friends to fund 10% of our operating budget.
Each gift to the ‘Blazer Fund – Woodlawn’s annual fund – is tax deductible, every dollar goes to supporting student success and helping keep the school affordable. This year, charitable contributions to Woodlawn helped us:
+ Fund every item on Teacher Wish Lists, giving our teachers more of the tools and resources they
use to support the success of our students.
+ Improve the functionality and beauty of our campus by funding things such as playground
renovations, a new gym floor, upgraded HVAC and technology systems, and more.
+ Provide gold-standard professional training and development in Project Based Learning for
every Woodlawn teacher.
+ Improve the quality of every child’s Woodlawn experience by supporting socio-economic
diversity through need-based tuition assistance.
+ Moderate annual tuition increases while investing in excellence. Every dollar donated to the ‘Blazer Fund is a dollar we don’t have to charge for tuition or reduce our investment in student success.
