What you need to know
This annual campaign serves as the foundation for all philanthropic efforts at Episcopal High School.

 

Every gift counts
Whether you give $10, $100, or $1,000, your gift matters. Participation percentages are often the key statistic foundations look at when Episcopal applies for grants. Episcopal Fund participation is one way to measure the level of faith and pride Episcopal's alumni have in the school.

 

Campus improvements

New software for computer labs, re-surfacing playing fields, nationally-recognized clinicians for performing-arts classes, spiritual-development programs through chapel services, faculty professional development and student financial aid are just a few examples of areas enhanced by the Episcopal Fund.
