Over the fifty-year history of Indian Springs School,
thousands of alumni, parents, friends, and faculty have
made generous contributions to sustain and enhance the
Indian Springs tradition. Gifts are generally made for
the purposes listed below. If you have a special giving
interest, please contact Gisèle Crowe, Director
of Development.
Endowment Fund
One
measure of the strength of a school is the size of its
endowment—its ability to protect the school over
time against changing enrollment and investment trends.
And, since tuition revenue does not pay for capital
improvements, an endowment must also be sufficient to
provide for capital expenditures, both planned and unanticipated.
Undesignated gifts to endowment allow the Board of Governors
to direct income to the area of greatest need.
Annual
Fund
Tuition
provides most of Indian Springs School's annual operating
income, but not all. Additional revenue comes from summer
programs, endowment, and the annual fund. A strong annual
fund each year insures the excellence of the educational
experience for students and protects the endowment--the
very future of Indian Springs School.
Campaign
Funds
From time to time, Indian Springs School may initiate
a special fund-raising effort for a designated capital
project. The campaign to build the Town Hall and the
Steinway Piano purchase campaign concluded in 1999.
Named
Scholarship and Award Funds
