Did you know that many companies/corporations offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees? And that some companies will even match to spouses and retirees? Matching gifts double, or even triple, the impact of your gift! Contributions of any amount help us ignite the spark in our students.

Annual Giving + Tuition = Operating Budget

The Shlenker School’s Annual Fund plays a critical role in supporting the School’s annual operating budget and is immediately used during the school year. Gifts to the Annual Fund are impactful—they help us retain our phenomenal faculty members and give them opportunities for growth, they help us afford new technology and enhancements to stay current, and they help us provide resources for our classrooms, labs, and ancillary programs. 

By making an unrestricted gift to the Annual Fund, donors are giving the School the opportunity to address needs and seize opportunities as they arise.
