Q:

Why is my participation important?

A:

Our community’s collective generosity propels Shore’s mission forward and enables the school to provide inspiring learning opportunities. A high level of community participation reflects pride and confidence in the school and its mission. We hope that every member of the Shore community will make a gift each year.

Q:

Does Shore celebrate leadership gifts and loyal donors?

A:

Yes! Generous support from members of Shore’s Leadership Giving Societies ($1,500 – $50,000+) makes a powerful impact each year. Leadership donors stretch their giving to help sustain excellence at Shore and inspire others in the community to make Shore a philanthropic priority.

Members of The Blue & White Society ($5,000+) receive an invitation to a special event to honor their contributions.

Loyal donors who give for three or more consecutive years are honored as part of our True Blue Giving Circle.

Q:

When should I give?

A:

Gifts to The Shore Fund are put to use immediately, so the sooner the better! The Shore Fund follows the fiscal year, which begins July 1 and closes on June 30. The Shore Fund kicks off each fall, and each spring, the whole community comes together for Giving Day, a 24-hour giving initiative. Some donors give once during the year, while others make gifts during each of these efforts, and/or at other times during the year.

Q:

How much should I give?

A:

Please support The Shore Fund with a gift that is meaningful to you. We receive gifts of $5-$50,000 and above, and no gift is too small. All gifts to The Shore Fund are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Q:

Can I direct my Shore Fund gift to a specific area?

A:

Yes! The Shore Fund enables us to attract and retain the best faculty, provide financial assistance to families, cultivate a love of arts and athletics in every student, and incorporate innovative technologies in the classroom and makerspaces. You have the flexibility to direct your gift to any of these areas.
