The eFund

WE DID IT! 
Thank you Episcopal community for helping us reach our 2018-19 eFund goal. Over 100 volunteers helped us raise $710,000 from 957 donors. Your support impacted every student, faculty and staff member this year, and allowed us to continue the mission of our school. Please take a moment to see highlights from this year’s eFund efforts. 
Look out! The Class of 1985 is now in the lead for highest eFund participation! Thank you to the members of 1985 and to all alumni who have shown your support. If you have not yet participated, there is still time! Gifts at any level matter and will help increase overall alumni participation before this fiscal year ends on June 30. 
​We’re half way through the 2018-19 school year and want to congratulate the alumni Class of 1996 (highest participation) and Class of 1979 (highest total giving) for leading the way in the alumni eFund effort. Click the link below to show your support of Episcopal and claim a 2018 tax deduction.

have already reached 100% participation for the 2018-2019 eFund! Please join them in giving back to this annual fund effort.

​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.
 
The eFund allows us to attract, retain and develop the best faculty and staff. Which is why we are proud to focus on our greatest resource - TEACHERS - this year!

It is your chance to say "Thank You" to those who made a difference to you and your family. We invite you to make a gift to honor a teacher, coach, or staff member (past or present). Contribute $100 or more and we notify your honoree that they have been recognized by your gift to The eFund. Gift amounts will not be included in the notification. The Development Office will notify all honorees who have current contact information on file. 

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 2018-19 school year, our financial goal is $710,000. The eFund will make up 4% of the 2018-19 operating budget, and provide that margin of excellence, allowing Episcopal to remain on top.

The 1965 Society

 Picture
​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 for two or more consecutive years will be recognized as members of this consistent giving society. The 2017-18 list is currently in production.

If you supported the campaign in 2017-18, all you have to do is renew your commitment to The eFund at any level to be included.

Thank you to the donors who generously support The eFund. Your contribution is for everything we do, everything we can be. It is for everyone, every year.
