Giving

Open Window Fund

The annual giving fund at Open Window School directly supports our students, teachers, and administration, enabling us to fulfill our mission to nurture and inspire our children.

We ask every family to make Open Window a top priority in their philanthropic giving each year. As an independent school, we have many fewer supporters than a university or large charity. Because the number of donors is small and the need is large, every gift counts and truly matters. 
 
Most of the cost of maintaining an independent school is our people, and they are our most important asset.  We provide an outstanding group of talented, dedicated faculty and staff; a rich, challenging, authentic curriculum that fosters a love of learning; and a focus on children learning respect, empathy, problem-solving, and other social and emotional competencies that help them succeed in school and in life.  
 
This is only possible because of the support from our community. Tuition accounts for about 88 percent of our total operating budget at Open Window each year. Your support makes up the difference. 
 
Your generous donations are put to work in the current school year and help us to continue to provide exceptional, transformative experiences for all students.

You can donate appreciated stocks or securities. This is a fantastic way to support Open Window and may offer you a greater tax advantage.  

Many area companies will match your donation. It is simple and easy, and it doubles your donation! 

You may direct your donation to the Open Window Fund toward an area of the school that you feel most passionate about.
