Annual Giving
Each year, the Brookwood School engages in an Annual Giving Campaign. This is a critical part of our annual operating budget and helps to fund the “gap” between the actual cost of the wonderful, rich education provided to Brookwood students and the tuition and fees received. Annual Giving is crucial to the success of this school and its programs.
The Board of Trustees establishes the annual goal and leads the campaign, reaching out to all Brookwood families, community members, and other friends of the school.
We rely on the full participation of our Brookwood families
in order to make this a successful campaign. We understand that some families are in a position to give more than others, but ask that all of our families consider how they can participate.

How Your Gifts Are Used:
Your generous donation can help fund:
- financial aid to students, which makes our programs available to a wider group of children
- teachers’ salaries
- internet connectivity and technology
- special programs such as our fall concert and spring play
- Montessori learning materials
Annual Fund Helps Families, Critical to Brookwood:
As an independent school, the Brookwood School is not supported by public monies or religious subsidies. We are independent in finance as well as governance. To operate, the school charges tuition and raises money. Tuition covers less than 80% of the annual operating budget.
If we were to raise tuition to meet all costs, many families would be unable to send their children to our school. We choose to make the Brookwood experience available to as many children as possible and to educate the entire community to be respectful and responsible citizens. We balance our budget by raising money from all people in the community who are committed to our mission.
