FAQs About Giving

Why Support the Eagle Hill Fund?

Eagle Hill’s relies on generous gifts to provide vital resources that allow our students and faculty to flourish. A gift to the Eagle Hill Fund has a positive impact on the day to day life of our School, supporting the people, programs, and facilities that make the life-changing Eagle Hill experience possible. 

Why does participation in The Eagle Hill Fund matter?

A high participation rate reflects our parent’s confidence and commitment to Eagle Hill.
Alumni parents and alumni themselves view parent participation as a marker of the school’s overall strength.
Annual gifts help cover critical operating costs and fund a significant portion of our annual budget.
Participation is a key measure of our School’s financial health and a positive indicator for prospective families to choose Eagle Hill.  
Every gift counts equally when it comes to participation. 

Why does Eagle Hill rely on both tuition and charitable contributions?

A revenue model that relies on both tuition and philanthropy enables us to keep tuition costs lower, making Eagle Hill accessible to a broader range of families, and allows families to support the school with tax deductible charitable gifts, rather than tuition alone. 

How much should I give? 

We ask that you make Eagle Hill a philanthropic priority for your family and support our School with a gift that is meaningful for your family. Gifts of any size are appreciated and make a positive impact. Eagle Hill Fund gifts range from $25 to $50,000+. 

Should I make a gift to the Eagle Hill Fund every year?

Each year, the generosity of alumni, families, and friends provides vital resources that allow our students and faculty to flourish. The collective support of our community makes a meaningful difference in the life of our school, expanding what is possible. Your participation every year signifies a shared commitment to championing our mission.

Who do you solicit for the Eagle Hill Fund? 

We ask everyone in our community to participate: parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty and staff.

Why are matching gifts so important?

You are able to maximize your support to Eagle Hill  through your employer’s matching gift program, allowing your support to double or triple. 

If I have multiple kids at Eagle Hill, do I have to make a gift for each child to the Eagle Hill Fund?

No! One gift per family counts as participation in the Eagle Hill Fund. So, if you have a child on the Yellow team and one in the Upper School, your one gift would count for participation. 

Are gifts to Eagle Hill tax deductible? 

Eagle Hill School is an exempt organization as described in section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Gifts of appreciated stock may offer additional tax benefits. Donors will receive an acknowledgment and receipt for their taxes.

Can I give to Eagle Hill’s endowment? 

The endowment provides resources — in perpetuity — for the people and programs that make Eagle Hill School unique. The funds are invested, and a board-determined percentage of the endowment income is spent each year.  If you would like to learn more about making an endowment gift, please contact Katy Ritz at k.ritz@eaglehill.org or call 475-303-3460.
