Tax-deductible gifts to OES are vital because tuition provides approximately 84 percent of the income that supports a student’s education. Like most independent schools, OES relies on a tradition of philanthropy to offset operating expenses, provide capital funds for campus projects, and support financial aid. Alumnae/i, parents, and other friends of OES can provide financial support for the mission of the school in the following ways:
- Regular gifts to the OES Fund, which augments tuition to cover operating expenses.
- Planned gifts to support the Endowment, which funds financial aid and other designated programs.
- Capital gifts for campus improvements.
- Donate items and services for the annual auction.
Contact the Development Office for more information about how you can support OES.
