Say Yes to Community: Davidson Day Fund

100% participation in 100 days!

The Davidson Day Fund provides a new way for parents and others to give unrestricted dollars to enhance the school’s budget and support the students and teachers in a tax-deductible way.

Davidson Day Fund monies go directly to support enriching experiences for our students. Davidson Day Fund donors are able to indicate the preferred area of support that is most meaningful to their families. These areas include academic excellence, innovation and technology, student experiences, and the area of greatest need.

Parents are the largest group contributing to the Davidson Day Fund – it’s our school and this is how we show our support for our children and for each other. Additionally, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, corporations, foundations, and friends of Davidson Day are asked to give.

At Davidson Day, our shared goal is to provide the very best education for our children. Achieving 100% parent participation sends a powerful message—it shows that our entire community stands united in support of the school’s mission and is fully committed to its excellence. When every family contributes, no matter the amount, it reflects our collective belief in what Davidson Day offers and ensures we have the resources our students need to thrive.

Gifts can be made by cash, check, credit card, Venmo, Google Pay, PayPal, or stock transfer. They can be mailed to the Office of Philanthropy at the school, telephoned in, or completed online via this form. Questions or requests for instructions regarding stock transfers should be directed to Assistant Director of Philanthropy Charmaine Comerford.

Gifts for the current school year are accepted from July 1st to June 30th. Ideally, donors make their gift or pledge during the Davidson Day Fund Campaign; this year, the campaign runs from October 16th, 2025, to January 23rd, 2026. All pledges are due by May 15th, 2026.

Yes! Many companies will match employee contributions to Davidson Day. Inquire through your company’s human resources department for instructions.

Principally, your children receive a superior education at one of the finest schools in the nation. Also, Davidson Day’s nonprofit status allows you to receive a tax deduction for your contribution. It is a true win-win situation – you’re able to help all the students at Davidson Day while simultaneously receiving a tax benefit!

Each family’s circumstances are different, and their appropriate level of giving depends on their financial situation. We ask that you participate at the highest amount or level you feel is feasible. If you are able, please consider a gift at one of the Leadership Levels (starting at $2,500 and going to $25,000+). Most importantly, we ask you to participate. Every gift matters, regardless of amount, and every gift makes a difference!
