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 talenteddedicated 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.
