Your Guide to

Giving

I am so thankful for the sense of community and support system at Havergal. It isn’t just a school, we are a family.

Why I am grateful for Havergal:

Philanthropy & Community

A long-standing tradition of giving has meant that each generation of Havergal students has benefited from the generosity of our dedicated donor community. Your gift to our school reaffirms your belief in Havergal’s mission and our important role within the community, while inspiring others —especially your daughters—to pay it forward.

In keeping with this tradition, each year we invite members of the Havergal community to donate to our Annual Fund.

We hope this Guide to Giving helps with your decision to make a contribution to Havergal.

Fundraising at Havergal

v

The teachers at Havergal do their best to help their students reach their highest potential.

Why I feel supported at Havergal:

What is the Annual Fund?

The Annual Fund is an important source of financial support for curriculum enrichment, financial assistance, and many other initiatives that make our academic, athletics, arts and music programs unique.

What is the Limitless Campaign?

The Limitless Campaign is the school’s current capital campaign, which will help create spaces that inspire learning with a focus on art, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), music, health and well-being, and environmental sustainability.

With a goal of raising $21 million, the campaign is our most ambitious fundraising endeavour to date.

Endowments

Havergal’s endowments benefit our students. Scholarships and bursaries, professional development, curriculum initiatives and new equipment are just a few areas of impact.

Endowments are funds permanently set aside as ongoing funding sources. A percentage of the income generated by the endowment capital is spent annually, but the capital itself remains untouched, ensuring that monies continue to be generated with each succeeding year. Donors may contribute to enhance an existing fund or create a new fund. A minimum of $100,000 is needed to create a new endowed fund.

The Impact of Your Gift

Enhanced Learning Spaces

These spaces offer more flexible learning and teaching environments designed to support how girls learn best and spark their enthusiasm.

Upgraded Equipment

Quality resources strengthen our athletics, arts, drama and music programs.

Campus Enhancements

Support the maintenance of Havergal’s facilities and grounds through campus improvements.

Experiential Learning

Opportunities for learning outside the reach of the classroom fosters innovation and compels inquisitive students.

Bursary Support

Your support of student bursaries makes a Havergal education more accessible to qualified students who could not otherwise afford to attend.

Donations in Action

Your gift to the Annual Fund has an impact on our students every single day. Donations are allocated to support learning designed specifically for girls.

I love the environment that Havergal provides because individuality is encouraged.
