Building a Culture of Giving
The Island School relies on active and generous fundraising to thrive. As with most independent schools, tuition at The Island School covers only part of the cost of educating a student. In order to keep tuition as affordable as possible, the school depends on fundraising to make up the difference between tuition income and actual cost.
All donations to The Island School Annual Fund are fully tax-deductible, providing a valuable opportunity for you to support our mission while also benefiting from tax advantages.

The Annual Fund
Every gift makes The Island School experience richer for every child.
Each year, families, grandparents, alumni and friends come together to support the moments that make our school feel like home. Your gift goes to work right away, in our classrooms and in our community.
Your gift brings our community together
Celebrations like our Halloween festivities and the Fall Carnival give families, students and teachers time to connect, laugh, and make memories.
Your gift puts great tools in students’ hands
From books and classroom supplies to soccer nets, materials for hands-on projects, and our new water bottle filling station, your support shows up in what students use and enjoy every day.
Every gift counts
Gifts of every size matter, and so does taking part. When nearly every family gives, it shows the strength of our community, and that inspires others to support us too.
We ask for financial support just twice a year: through the Annual Fund and at our Spring Auction.
Give to the Annual Fund with the form below.
A Note About Our Fundraising Platform: We use Zeffy for our fundraising.100% of your gift goes to the school. The Zeffy tip at checkout is optional, and you can set it to $0. Prefer to give by bank transfer ACH? Contact Shannon Kennedy at kennedy.shannon@theislandschool.org. More giving options below.
At The Island School, we believe economic diversity strengthens our community and enriches every student’s experience.
Our annual auction is dedicated entirely to supporting our Financial Aid Fund—all proceeds from our Paddle Call go directly toward making our exceptional education accessible to students from a wide range of financial backgrounds.
You can also support the Financial Aid Fund at any time throughout the year. Every gift, whether made during the auction or at another time, helps ensure The Island School remains inclusive, vibrant, and welcoming to all.
Thank you for helping us create opportunities for every child to thrive.
