THE UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS FOUNDATION

How to contribute

When University Schools moved to its new location a Foundation was formed for the purpose of supporting the financial needs of the school.   School districts pass bond issues to build and furnish schools. Like a homeowner, however, a charter school must make its own mortgage payments out of the state money we receive through District 6.   The annual mortgage payment for our school is roughly $1.5 million dollars.  That is money that could otherwise be going into the classroom to make our support directly comparable with the public schools. What is amazing is the quality experience our students nevertheless receive thanks to a dedicated faculty and staff.

Many generous donors have contributed nearly $500,000 to the University Schools Foundation for the purpose of furnishing the building, exterior landscaping, and development of athletic fields.  As we continue to fund school projects and further develop our school site, we need your financial assistance to fill the gap caused by our mortgage payments.  ALL donations to the Foundation go directly to school projects.   Any monetary donation to the Foundation is greatly appreciated.

Our ultimate goal is to create an endowment fund.  Interest earned from an endowment fund would provide perpetual support to our school. Either way, if you would like to contribute to the University Schools Endowment Fund or make a direct contribution for direct support, you may send a check to the school in care of the University Schools Foundation. 

The members of the Foundation Board greatly appreciate the assistance and support that parents and alumni have provided.  We encourage you to continue with your tax deductible donations. 

Our Most Sincere Thanks!
