The Annual Fund at The Summit

Like all great schools, The Summit is blessed with a family of parents, alumnae/i, and friends who express their support of students and teachers every year with gifts that provide special opportunities for those who teach and learn at the school.

Gifts to the Annual Fund support Summit students and teachers every day; they are used for scholarships, faculty development, and program enhancements. These gifts provide a margin of excellence that is the measure of The Summit experience.

Over the past five years, gifts to the Annual Fund have totaled more than
$3 million. Last year, more than $700,000 in Annual Fund support was put directly to work in support of the school’s academic and co-curricular programs.

Making a Difference

Hundreds of donors together make gifts that have an immediate impact on Summit students and teachers every day. When you make a gift to the Annual Fund, you join a community of donors who directly affect Summit’s program and excellence.

How Can I Participate in the Annual Fund?

You can make your gift online. Gifts of appreciated securities are also welcomed.

All gifts made before May 31 are recognized in The Summit’s Annual Report. Gifts are used for current purposes and school priorities, so they are most valuable when made early in the academic year.
