Contributing to Wooster School

There are two basic categories of funds at Wooster School. Wooster’s Annual Giving campaign and gifts to endowment and capital projects. In tandem, they provide critical resources for the everyday running of our School which includes educational programs, co-curricular activities, faculty development, financial aid for qualified students, and maintenance of our beautiful 100-plus acre campus.

Every member of the Wooster School community is asked to support Annual Giving. Wooster's Board of Trustees, Parents, Alumni, Grandparents, Faculty and Staff, Parents of Alumni, and other friends of the School all make voluntary contributions which together make up over 6% of our annual budget.

Please note: When you click "Donate," you will connect to our Danbury Savings Bank online giving site which has recently been upgraded. If this is the first time you have made an online gift to Wooster School, the site will require you to create a user name and password. If you are a returning user, the upgraded site will require you to “re-validate,” as your password was not carried over from the former program. Questions?

The School’s yearly fundraising priority is Annual Giving. This campaign provides the School with the necessary funds to support the operating expenses that are not covered by either tuition or earnings on endowment. Your gift to Annual Giving directly and profoundly makes a difference to every student, every faculty member, and every program on campus.

Capital and endowment projects, ranging in designations that include financial aid, faculty support, and building construction and maintenance, are prioritized by the Board of Trustees.

Gifts can be made in many ways although for the majority of donors a personal check or an online donation is most convenient. Alternatively, there are distinct tax advantages to making a gift of appreciated securities. Other gifts of tangible property, real estate, life insurance, retirement plans, life income gifts, trusts and bequests fall under the rubric of Planned Giving.

How and what you give is not as important as that you do give. Wooster School is only as strong as the support that our community gives. It is through your gift that Wooster School’s mission advances.
