• D-E Annual Fund

  Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the true cost of the D-E experience and so, philanthropy plays a critical role in the operation of the School.  Gifts to the D-E Annual Fund help to maintain a balanced budget, manage costs, and uphold the quality of education for which we are best known.

• Capital Giving, Endowment, and Special Projects

  Gifts for capital purposes are typically made with the future in mind. Donors may add to the permanent assets of Dwight-Englewood through addition to bricks and mortar or to the financial strength of the School through investment in endowment, the income of which will support D-E in perpetuity.  Typically these gifts are made during capital campaigns and are payable over five years, but they may also be made through bequests.  Donors with a particular interest in financial aid or faculty support may choose to establish an endowment that will benefit students or faculty long into the future.
