Ways to Give
Why donate to Village School?
Your gift supports Village School and our goal to create a childhood of wonder, joy, and challenge where children expand their minds and hearts, find their greater purpose, and prepare to engage with the wider world.
The Village Fund
The Village Fund is the school’s primary fundraiser that supports the day to day. The contributions from our community help bridge the gap between the income we receive from tuition and the actual cost of the Village experience.
The Village Endowment Fund
The Village School Endowment Fund gifts ensure the long-term financial health and stability of our school and allow Village School to remain competitive by providing the finest educational experience for our students and the future of Village School.
The Village Spring Gala
The proceeds of the Spring Gala fundraiser support the Flexible Tuition Program. Your participation in this event can make independent school education more affordable for a broader range of families.

DAF contributions are invested and can grow tax-free over time providing opportunities for you to make a greater impact.
