Support Guilford Day
Why Give?
Your gifts help assure that Guilford Day School’s students have the opportunity they need to achieve their goals and attain their dreams. Tuition alone simply does not cover the total cost of educating each child. Your contributions to the Annual Fund make up the critical difference.
Every year, many families find they are unable to attend without some financial assistance while others simply don't have the financial resources available so that their child can attend at all. We know the difference even one year at Guilford Day can mean to a child and their family. In the hopes of meeting some of those needs, we have developed several scholarship funds. Your donations to these endowed funds can make the difference for a child every year.
Fundraising Opportunities
Guilford Day School is a non-profit organization funded through private money in the form of donations received and tuition paid and other funds raised by parents through annual fundraising events. We receive no federal, or state, or local assistance. Because of our low student:teacher ratio, eighty-five percent (85%) of our operating budget is allocated to faculty and staff salaries. We rely on tuition and fundraising event income to meet our financial obligations.
Annual events include:
- Innisbrook Sales
- Golf Tournament
- Wreath Sales
Daily opportunities include:
- Use your Harris Teeter VIC card #1259
- Use your Target Guest Card/Visa. Tell the cashier that Guilford Day is your favorite school.
- Go to Golden Touch Car Wash - every Wednesday $1 is donated. Put Guilford Day in the book at check-out.
Planned Giving
As we look to ensure financial support for Guilford Day in the future, a planned gift can make this happen. A planned gift is a charitable donation set up during your lifetime but not available to Guilford Day School until sometime in the future. From simple bequests to life-income gifts, there are many different ways to design a gift that is beneficial to your special circumstances and tax concerns.
Please contact Laura Mlatac, Head of School, (laura@guilfordday.org or 336-282-7004) for information on giving opportunities.
