Blue and White Fund 2026-2027

Gifts to the Blue & White Fund provide Gulf Stream with the most flexibility to attend to the School’s greatest and most immediate areas of need. Every year Gulf Stream has a prioritized list of special projects, teacher requests, and needs it plans to accomplish. Blue & White Fund gifts help us realize those goals and fulfill the high expectations of our students, parents, and faculty.

Three main reasons: 1) We are building a culture of philanthropy, which is a common sense of responsibility for supporting Gulf Stream. 2) There is a direct correlation between percentage of participation and the amount of money raised. Higher participation translates into more success financially. 3) Fellow donors look at the level of participation as a measure of an institution’s health and future potential.

While this is a personal choice for each individual or family, we ask that members of the GSS community give at a level appropriate to them. Of course, any amount is welcomed and appreciated, but we ask current parents to consider making Gulf Stream School their number one philanthropic priority.

We are building a culture of philanthropy where every parent participates enthusiastically. A concentrated period of time allows us to focus on this effort and avoid constantly asking families for gifts. Giving within the timeframe allows the School to set the following year’s budget based on real numbers rather than projections.

Yes. All we need from you now, in order to count your participation, is a pledge. Gifts can be fulfilled anytime before the fiscal year ends on June 30, 2027.

Increasing tuition would make it difficult for some existing families to afford the costs and might discourage prospective families from considering Gulf Stream as a viable option for their child(ren). Minimizing tuition increases ensure that the School can retain, attract, and potentially enroll the area’s best students.

Blue & White Fund gifts provide the School with necessary funds to fulfill the School’s greatest and most immediate needs that remain unfunded by tuition. It is the School’s second largest source of income other than tuition and its most important fundraising endeavor every year. The School publishes an Impact Report every year highlighting the tangible items and opportunities made possible thanks to your generous gifts in support of the Blue & White Fund.

Last school year GSS launched the public phase of GSS360, a comprehensive fundraising campaign that touches the lives of every student. The Campaign will optimize every facet of school life, and each of its four pillars directly enhances the student experience now and in the future. With a historic $10 million fundraising goal, GSS360 is built on a simple premise: helping your children shine both today and in years to come. For more information, visit the GSS360 webpage.
