The ONE St. Paul's Fund

A Tradition of Giving

From the original foundation of our schools, St. Paul’s has been rooted in the philanthropy of donors who sought to establish educational opportunities to develop and instruct underprivileged children as responsible members of the Baltimore community.

More than two centuries later, St. Paul’s students continue to benefit from the thoughtful generosity of the founders, alumni, families, and friends who have come before them. These contributions built nearly every facility on the schools’ 120-acre Brooklandwood campus, established a robust endowment, and supported annual operating needs through gifts to the ONE Fund.

We believe that every member of the St. Paul’s community should experience the joy of giving to carry-on this legacy of philanthropy that provides students big opportunities in a small school setting, where each child is known and supported by dedicated, caring teachers and staff.

ONE Fund FAQs

What is the ONE St. Paul's Fund?

Why do we need the Annual Fund?

Tuition and fees cover about 85% of our schools’ $40M operating budget. Every year, we rely on endowment performance (the schools’ savings account), revenue from auxiliary programs (summer camps, the school store, facility rentals, etc.), and the ONE Fund to make up the difference. St. Paul’s relies upon tax-deductible contributions to the ONE Fund for 5% (over $2 million) of its operating revenue each year.

What does the ONE Fund support?

It benefits all of us – The ONE Fund supports students, faculty professional development opportunities, student resources, and tuition assistance to increase access to a St. Paul’s education.
It adds up – ONE Fund gifts of all sizes are valued and important!

It influences our schools’ reputation – Giving is one factor used by AIMS when evaluating and ranking independent schools in Maryland.
It sets the tone – ONE Fund support is core to building and strengthening a culture of philanthropy at St. Paul’s.

How much of a difference does my gift make, really?

When will I be asked to give to the ONE Fund?

Each fall you will receive a solicitation letter, which serves as our schools’ request for your annual commitment to St. Paul’s. This will be followed by the ONE Challenge, a campus-wide giving challenge to raise $500,000 for the ONE St. Paul’s Fund. This year, the Challenge will run from October 24-26, 2023. We hope you will consider making your annual commitment before or during the ONE Challenge.
