Giving

Voluntary giving to University Prep is an important element in sustaining our program's quality and success. You may support our teachers' work and the development of our students' abilities through a variety of opportunities.

The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the core component of our development program. With their generous support of this fund, parents, board members, alumni, grandparents and friends provide the funds that enrich and enhance our program beyond what would be possible by tuition dollars alone. The Annual Fund provides a margin of excellence for the students in each classroom at U Prep. We invite and encourage each member of our community to generously support this annual campaign.

The Auction
Parent Council fundraising activities, particularly the annual Auction, are a vital part of U Prep's program. A successful Auction provides much needed funds for student programs, financial aid and cocurricular offerings, as well as giving the school's community an opportunity to publicly celebrate the school's mission and values.

The Campaign for Endowment
Now in its second year, the Campaign for Endowment is building the school's designated reserves. With a focus on the people who are the core of the school, the campaign has components for Financial Aid, Faculty and Staff Professional Development, Faculty and Staff Compensation, and Global Education, as well as always needed unrestricted funds. In addition, there are a series of existing funds to which interested donors can make a gift. Please see the section on Endowment for details.

Other Campaigns
As the board and administration identify other opportunities, or as we need to create new spaces for our program and students, campaigns or other targeted efforts will be conducted to secure the funding needed so that students at U Prep will always benefit  from facilities that reflect the superb quality of our program.
