Endowment Giving

The establishment of endowment funds in honor or memory of a loved one creates a lasting legacy of support for a wide range of school priorities. Contributions to and investment proceeds from endowment funds provide a permanent source of income to support merit scholarships, tuition assistance, faculty excellence, and many other initiatives. Additionally, the endowment ensures the long-term sustainability of St. Paul’s and allows our schools to continuously enhance and evolve educational offerings and the student experience.
