Along with tuition revenues, the Annual Fund is truly the lifeblood of the School and provides crucial financial support. Gifts received throughout the year help to cover operating costs for that year, as well as unexpected expenses, and sustain our ability to provide the transformative Foxcroft Experience to
every student,
every year. Moreover, as foundations examine participation rates when evaluating Foxcroft grant requests, gifts serve as a powerful endorsement of the value of a Foxcroft education.
Your charitable gifts to the Annual Fund are tax-deductible. The School depends upon the participation and generosity of all our constituencies, including alumnae, current and past parents, grandparents, foundations, trustees, faculty, and friends.
Thank you for making Foxcroft a philanthropic priority.
We invite you to view our brief newly released
presentation,
The Foxcroft Experience: Chosing to Make a Difference! (Dec. 2011).
Every gift, large or small, truly does make a difference!
Please, if you have but one gift to give to Foxcroft, make it to the Annual Fund.
ANNUAL FUND CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
Often we sing the praises of the single major gifts that have made a difference to this School. Equally important, though, are those gifts received year after year which form the financial foundation of our operations. Last year, we celebrated the Annual Fund's 50th anniversary and those who have given consistently to this fund since its inception. As we move beyond this milestond, we continue to thank these incredible individuals for providing the School with the bedrock for the future. For more information on this celebration and for a list of individuals that have given consistently over the past 50 years, please click

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT TO THE 2011-12 ANNUAL FUNDThe most direct way to support Foxcroft is through an outright gift of
cash (check or credit card) or
stock. Gifts made in the form of a pledge may be extended over the period of a year. Many firms offer matching gift programs for outright gifts made by their employees and their spouses and sometimes, by retirees. Please ask your employer's Human Resource Office if this benefit is available to you! Typically, all that is involved is the completion of a simple form from your employer, and its return to Foxcroft. This is yet another way to increase the impact of your philanthropy.
