What is the Eagles Fund?

The Eagles Fund is our annual giving program that helps fulfill the greatest needs and dreams of our school. Your support for the Eagles Fund inspires the people, sustains the place, and enhances the program integral to a superior educational experience for every student. The Eagles Fund is crucial for attracting and retaining exceptional faculty, offering financial assistance, enhancing school security, supporting new and innovative curricula and programs, implementing leading-edge technology, and more! These gifts are made annually and can be increased over time. Eagles Fund priorities are determined by school leadership at the beginning of each school year. 

How can I support the students and faculty of St. John’s?

At St. John’s, there are many ways to support our students and faculty such as the Eagles Fund, the Capital Campaign, special events, and planned gifts. Every gift, regardless of how you choose to contribute, helps us maintain excellence in education by offering students and faculty the best possible environment to thrive.

What are the giving levels?

Platinum Eagles donors are invited to a private dinner with our Head of School at your convenience.

Donors giving $2,500 or more are recognized during an exclusive cocktail party hosted in the spring.

All gifts are listed in the school’s annual Impact Report.

What is St. John’s Capital Campaign: A Place To Grow?

St. John’s Capital Campaign: A Place To Grow is the name of the largest and most ambitious project in our school’s history. As guided by our Strategic Plan, St. John’s is building for the future. The school will transform the S Plant Ave Campus into state-of-the-art facilities that maximize our thriving urban setting. We envision a campus that supports unprecedented opportunities to transform the lives of generations of children.

Gifts to St. John’s Capital Campaign: A Place To Grow are used solely to support the school’s facilities master plan and construction of a new Grades 1-8 Campus. Capital Campaign gifts are a tax-deductible, long-term investment in the future of St. John’s. Capital Campaign gifts may be made over an extended period of time up to five years.

Should I support both the Eagles Fund and the Capital Campaign?

Yes, it is important to give to both. Contributing to both funds is vital to address the immediate and long-term needs of St. John’s. The Eagles Fund is the foundation of giving at our school. Participation from parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, administration, partners, and friends demonstrates a personal and collective commitment to the experience and needs of each child and every teacher. The Capital Campaign supports the school’s facilities master plan and construction of the new campus on S Plant Ave. Gifts to the Capital Campaign are made in addition to your Eagles Fund commitment and may be fulfilled over multiple years.
