By choosing Fenwick, you and your child(ren) have already made the most important decision you can make to support Fenwick. You have made a commitment to excellence for your family and to this great school. Thank you.
Tuition provides the foundation for a Fenwick education, but it does not cover the full cost of the opportunities, programs, and experiences that make Fenwick distinctive. Gifts to the Fenwick Fund help bridge that gap and provide flexible support for the areas of greatest need—from academics and student activities to faculty resources, campus life, and more.
As a Dominican school, community is at the heart of who we are. Each year, alumni, parents, past parents, faculty, staff, and friends come together to support Fenwick through charitable giving. We invite our current parents to join that tradition.
Every family’s gift will look different, and every gift matters. Whether your family gives $10, $100, $1,000, or more, your participation demonstrates a shared commitment to the students and teachers who make Fenwick such a special place.
Our goal is 100% parent participation in the Fenwick Fund. When every family takes part at a level that is meaningful to them, the collective impact is tremendous.
Thank you for considering a gift to the Fenwick Fund and for all the ways you support the Fenwick community.

What is Parent Annual Giving to the Fenwick Fund?
It is a tax deductible donation made to Fenwick, in addition to tuition and fees, asked of all Fenwick parents each year to help cover the annual difference between the cost to educate each student and the charged tuition. -
Why does the school ask current parents to help make up this difference?
We ask current parents to be primarily responsible for the costs of annual operating expenses since their children are the primary beneficiaries of all the school’s programs. We also recognize and celebrate the socioeconomic diversity of the Fenwick community and, as a result, we make an effort to keep tuition affordable for as many families as possible. -
What exactly does Fenwick expect of parents for the Fenwick Fund?
We ask that all current families consider a gift to the Fenwick Fund so that 100% of our families will participate at a level commensurate with each family's ability. -

Can I designate my gift to an area of the school that is important to my family?
Unrestricted gifts to the Fenwick Fund or designating the ‘Area of Greatest Need’ provide the most flexibility to Fenwick and give us the opportunity to make the best use of your generosity, but yes, you can provide budget relief to any of these designated areas if you so choose: Tuition Assistance, Academics, Fine Arts, Student Clubs and Activities or Athletics. -
