What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving following the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s a chance to give back to our community and come together in support of the causes we care about- in this case, our school. This is also the best time to secure a matching gift from your employer.
What is the CG Fund?
To provide the rich programs, inspiring teachers, and unique experiences our students enjoy, the school relies on two key sources of income: earnings from our endowment and gifts to the CG Fund. The CG Fund must be replenished every year to sustain our programs and fulfill the school’s mission.
The CG Fund — with a goal of $2.1 million this year — helps cover what tuition can’t, which is roughly $3,000 per student. Your annual support makes it possible for every child to have the full Catlin Gabel experience.
The CG Fund provides flexible, unrestricted dollars that directly support the school’s operating budget. This means they can be allocated where they are needed most—such as employee salaries, financial assistance for students, technology, and enhancements to athletics, the arts, outdoor education, and global trips.
How else can I make a gift to the CG Fund?
Catlin Gabel School accepts donations through various methods.
