Major Gifts

Above and beyond Breck's need for yearly operating support is our need to plan for the school's long-term financial health and academic vitality. Breck's Endowment Fund is the school's investment or savings account. It is made up of gifts from generous donors and of investment growth and earnings. Donor contributions are carefully invested and managed according to policies set by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees. In addition to funding a portion of the operating budget, endowment funds provide for strategic programs, projects and goals identified by the Board of Trustees.

Endowment funds currently support need-based financial aid, faculty salaries and professional development and special program needs.

Our major gifts program solicits gifts designated for the following areas:

• Unrestricted donations to Breck's endowment
• Additional financial aid, including aid to a growing number of middle-income families
• Technology and training that are consistent with our academic needs

Single or multi-year charitable gifts to the Endowment Fund can be made in cash, securities or in the form of a planned gift through a donor's estate or financial plan.
