The Shore Fund 2026–2027
For 90 years, Shore has been inspiring a love of learning. Your gift to The Shore Fund keeps Shore rooted in tradition, while innovating for the future.
Why is my participation important?
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.
Does Shore celebrate leadership gifts and loyal donors?
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.
When should I give?
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.
How much should I give?
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.
Can I direct my Shore Fund gift to a specific area?
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.
