Annual Fund
Annual Fund gifts are investments in every student.
When our community unites as One Hockaday, we can make a great impact on every Hockaday student. Even during challenging times, we will preserve and emerge stronger together.
Hockaday is committed to providing an extraordinary student experience during this school year, despite the challenges presented by the global health pandemic, and the Annual Fund remains critical. The Hockaday Annual Fund supports the School’s operating budget in myriad ways and helps fund the true cost of a Hockaday education. Every gift to the Annual Fund will directly support the additional expenses associated with COVID-19, such as campus sanitization supplies, new technology to enhance distance learning, faculty professional development and training opportunities, and additional financial aid support for our families in need.
Now more than ever, we need our community’s help to achieve our goal. If you are able, we hope you will consider a gift of any size in support of each and every Hockaday student.
