Giving

Annual Fund

Oakwood students’ favorite part of school—that is what the Annual Fund makes possible! Your investment is what allows a classroom discussion to spark creativity, a stage performance to ignite confidence, an athletic challenge to teach resilience, and financial assistance that helps make an Oakwood education accessible to all who seek it. The Annual Fund helps cover the difference between tuition and the cost of the Oakwood student-experience.
 
We ask all members of our community—parents, guardians, trustees, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, staff, and friends—to embrace Oakwood and make our students and our school a philanthropic priority. By inviting voluntary giving, we exemplify our Statement of Philosophy and honor our community's diversity by encouraging everyone to contribute in a way that is meaningful to them. This is not just about funding—it's about building a culture of generosity, where everyone has a role in shaping the Oakwood we love.
 
Gifts are used during the year in which they are received and have an immediate impact on teacher salaries, facilities, athletics, and programs such as STEAM, theater, debate, music, and visual arts. Support Oakwood TODAY!

 
Those who contribute $10k+ in combined giving annually are recognized as members of the Head of School Circle and will be invited to a special donor appreciation event.
