Supporting St. Margaret’s Episcopal School

“Tuition keeps an institution running. 
Philanthropy transforms it.”
Independent Schools thrive when their communities are actively involved in the life of the school building fellowship and supporting school programs. St. Margaret’s Episcopal School benefits from the foresight and generosity of parents, faculty, staff, alumni and friends who embrace and actively support the school mission.
 
As a member of the St. Margaret’s community, you have joined the ranks of families that came before you and those here today that have partnered with the school to ensure the delivery of our mission in the education of each child.
 
We ask for each family’s support through volunteerism and philanthropy in meaningful ways:
 
  • Sustained Giving - through 100% parent participation in the Annual Fund, support of fundraising events like Forever Plaid, the Tartan Open, and through other giving opportunities.
  • Engaged Volunteerism – through involvement with the Parent Teacher Fellowship, the Admissions Office and the Advancement Office in support of the life of our school and programs that benefit all students.
Private, ongoing support is essential to the long-term stability and success of the school. You make a significant difference in the life of St. Margaret’s and the present and future of our students. All gifts are welcome and appreciated – a gift to St. Margaret’s is an investment in our students.
