Alumni Philanthropy
We know that what made an alum’s Head-Royce experience fulfilling was different for everyone. Whether it was the curriculum, relationships with teachers or staff, athletics, clubs, fine or performing arts, or affinity groups, we realize that those experiences make lasting impacts and fond memories. We invite you to select the area your gift will support and make a difference. And you are always welcome to give to the School’s area of greatest need and know that it will be used where funds are needed the most.
“I have been fortunate to be able to give back to HRS, which was so formative in my academic and career foundations, and in my personal passion and appreciation for art. As a result of my time at the school on a scholarship, I was much better prepared for college in terms of writing ability, and for my career in terms of the broad base of knowledge that I can bring to new situations.”
— Ty Ahmad-Taylor ’86

Opportunities throughout the Year to Make a Philanthropic Gift
Head-Royce gratefully welcomes philanthropic gifts at any time. As alumni, you will also have these opportunities during specific times of the year to make a gift that can make a lasting difference.
GIVEtober
Join us in October for this month-long community-wide effort to raise money for the Annual Fund and beyond. Contributions at the start of the academic school year allow for the funds to be put to immediate use that same academic year.
Fall
During the Thanksgiving season, alumni will receive a letter in the mail inviting you to make a gift in the spirit of gratitude.
End of the Calendar Year
A reminder to let you know that if you’ve been considering a gift, December 31 is the deadline to have it count for the current tax year.
March Day of Giving
This online annual event is an opportunity for alumni to come together to raise funds for a specific project. Of course, gifts to any designation are welcome at any time.
Alumni Weekend
Alumni will have the opportunity to make a philanthropic gift of any size in honor of their reunion when they register for alumni weekend.
