Every Gift Tells Our Story—Join Us This #GivingTuesday
Dear Geffen Academy Community,
This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help us write the next chapter of Geffen Academy.
Every gift, no matter the amount, helps shape what comes next by advancing the programs and people that make our school truly exceptional.
At the heart of this story are our dedicated Educators, who inspire students to explore boldly, think critically, and lead with compassion. When you support the Geffen Academy Fund, your generosity provides the resources our Educators need to nurture each student’s story, empowering them to learn, lead, and grow with confidence.
Your contributions ensure that Geffen Academy remains at the forefront of innovation and educational excellence. The Geffen Academy Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the full cost of delivering the Geffen experience, representing 5.7% of our budget, approximately $1.4 million. Your generosity keeps our story moving forward, enriching every page of the Geffen experience through:
- Recruiting and Retaining the Best Educators: Attracting and supporting outstanding Educators who inspire and challenge our students.
- Providing State-of-the-Art Technology: Equipping classrooms with the tools that foster curiosity and deeper learning.
- Enriching Programs: Strengthening our arts, athletics, and extracurriculars to create well-rounded, engaged students.
- Promoting Diversity and Access: Offering tuition assistance that helps build an inclusive community where all students have the opportunity to thrive.
This is our moment to turn the page together. Let’s write a chapter filled with opportunity, innovation, and connection.
Click here to make your gift today.
