The Whitfield Fund
Without widespread support from our community, the school would not have the resources needed to provide the uncompromising academic and character education Whitfield families and students expect.
Every Gift Makes a Difference.
The Whitfield Fund is sustained by gifts of every size, at every level. Every gift counts, no matter the size. In fact, in 2019-2020 gifts of $10 - $999 added up to $170,000, making a direct and immediate impact on our students and school. The “Gap”: Tuition alone does not cover the cost of a Whitfield education. The school relies on charitable gifts to cover this gap of roughly $3,000 per student—and asks every family to consider making a “Gap” gift. We know that some families cannot make a gift of this size, and others can give so much more. We ask you to make a gift that is right for your family—every gift makes a difference.
When our families make a gift to The Whitfield Fund, they demonstrate to the community that they are invested in this school.
