Annual Giving - The Langley Fund

Is annual giving unique to Langley?

Why doesn’t the school charge enough to cover operating costs?

What is the difference between annual giving and a capital campaign?

Capital campaigns are conducted periodically to provide significant funds for additions to endowment, construction, renovation, or extensive equipment purchases. Contributions are generally pledged over three to five years. Annual giving is designed to offset annual operating expenses; if the gift is pledged, it is payable – and spent – by the end of the academic year.

Can I make a gift for a specific purpose or to support the endowment?

Certainly. If there is a specific project you would like to fund, please let us know. Generally, endowment funds may be established to support scholarship, faculty salaries and professional development, and specific academic, athletic, and co-curricular programs. The principal of endowed funds remains invested and untouched in perpetuity, generally with five percent of the invested amount being used each year in operations for the intended purpose, should the returns and valuation permit. Many donors choose to honor or memorialize a family member, friend, or faculty member through the naming of endowed funds. Click here to learn more.

What is the spring auction and will I be asked to participate?

The annual spring auction is a great community building activity and is one of the school’s primary fundraising initiatives. All funds raised help to offset current-year operating expenses such as faculty and staff salaries, student financial aid, and academic and extracurricular programs. We hope that you will choose to participate in and support the fundraiser by sponsoring or attending the event, donating an item for the silent or live auctions, or serving as a volunteer. A special component of the evening, “Raise the Paddle,” supports faculty excellence.

Volunteer

May I volunteer my time?

We celebrate and sincerely appreciate the generosity of those who support The Langley School. As you consider a gift in support of the school and its initiatives, please keep in mind that all gifts – regardless of size – make a difference. It is the collective effort that supports and sustains our community.

For additional information, please contact the Development Office. Thank you for your interest.
