Episcopal e-Fund

THE eFUND – The Margin of Excellence

The eFund provides unrestricted gifts to the current year’s operations. It is Episcopal’s most important giving priority. Participation by alumni, parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends of the School is critical and reflects one’s belief in all that happens here. The eFund is the difference between a good or great school and an excellent school.

Without The eFund, things would be very different at Episcopal:

fewer teachers, might mean more students/classroom,
academic and co-curricular offerings might be decreased,
the ability to attract, develop, and retain excellent teachers would suffer, and
deferred maintenance and cleaning.

With a strong eFund, Episcopal offers excellence in breadth and depth of opportunities:

faculty/staff professional development,
competitive salaries and benefits,
cutting edge technology, and
strong and numerous fine arts and athletic offerings from PK-12.

Gifts to The eFund make possible the enhanced resources and programs that make each student’s education unique and powerful. And you can direct your gift to a particular area through The eFund Family of Funds – Area of Greatest Need, Arts, Athletics, Spirituality /Service Learning, and Technology.

All gifts to The eFund at Episcopal are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The eFund year corresponds to the School’s fiscal year, beginning on July 1 with payments due by June 30 the following year.

For the 2017-2018 school year, our financial goal is $700,000. The eFund will make up 4% of the 2017-2018 operating budget, and provides that margin of excellence, allowing Episcopal to remain on top.

The 1965 Society

The 1965 Society, named in honor of the year the school was founded, was launched in 2015 to recognize consistent annual giving to The eFund each year.

Donors who support The eFund – at any level – for two or more consecutive years will be recognized as members of this consistent giving society. The 2016-2017 list is currently in production.

If you supported the campaign in 2016-2017, all you have to do is renew your commitment to The eFund at any level for 2017-2018 to be included.
