Agnes Irwin Spirit Week of Giving
As we celebrate Spirit Week of Giving with the powerful theme “How Will You Be Known,” we invite every member of our school community to reflect on the lasting impact we can make — through generosity, spirit, and unity. From PreK to 12th grade, our girls are known not just for their excellence in the classroom and on the field, but for their unwavering support of one another. During this week — November 3rd through November 7th — we have a chance to give back in a meaningful way. This exciting week culminates with AIS / EA Day where we will fight for the banner at home this year! Our girls will be known for being fierce competitors, loyal supporters, and gracious sportswomen — cheering each other on and lifting others up. Let your giving be part of us making history once again and hitting our goal of 750 gifts!
What is the Agnes Irwin Fund?
The Agnes Irwin Fund is our primary fundraising vehicle. It fuels every aspect of an Agnes Irwin education. High participation rates show confidence and strong community support for the school.
Does Agnes Irwin publish a list of donors to the Agnes Irwin Fund?
Yes! The school’s Annual Report, published in the fall, lists each donor to the Agnes Irwin Fund. You may choose to be anonymous, as well.
Doesn't tuition cover the costs of the school?
Tuition does not cover the cost of operating the school. Most, if not all, private schools rely on annual funds to close ‘the gap,’ the cost of tuition against the cost of providing a top-tier education.
Additionally, the more successful the Agnes Irwin Fund is, the more dynamic we can make the school and differentiate it from others.
Last year, 66% of gifts were $250 or less, which totaled over $95,000!
I can't give enough to make a difference.
EVERY GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! The cumulative giving effect of the Agnes Irwin community is tremendous. The overall financial contribution is critical, and it is an incredibly powerful differentiator for a school to be able to boast a high percentage of participation from its parents, past parents, alumnae, grandparents and friends. It is a great marketing tool to say the least.
