Polly T. Donald Enrichment Fund

Established as a tribute to former head of school, Polly Donald, this fund provides a unique opportunity for faculty and staff to revitalize and grow outside of the classroom, honoring Polly’s belief that an individual’s personal growth inevitably enriches those with whom they comes into contact. 

Friends For Life Endowment Fund

Designed to preserve our mission while encouraging progressive thinking and creativity. This endowment enables our school leaders to focus on the future, on supporting an outstanding faculty, and on strengthening our programs.

Friends remains committed to the Founders’ vision of continually seeking innovation, and challenging the ordinary. All dollars raised remain intact in perpetuity and are carefully invested to earn income that is used to support the school and endow excellence for the future head, hand and heart of the school.
