Your gifts impact our students—every day.

Gifts to the Barrie School Annual Fund go directly to supporting the people and programs that make Barrie School the unique and exceptional experience that it is. The funds support our day-to-day operations, including faculty salaries, program support, financial aid, facilities, classroom materials, enhancements, and more. 

Parents, faculty and staff, trustees, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, students, and friends give generously each year. Everyone is encouraged to give at a level that is right for their family. During the 2020-2021 school year, 100 percent of the Board of Trustees contributed to the Annual Fund, as well as 87 percent of the faculty and staff!

Virtually every part of the school is touched by your Barrie School Annual Fund gift. Because the school uses your Annual Fund gifts in so many ways, it is most helpful to give an unrestricted gift which allows us the flexibility to meet immediate needs and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. We will always steward your gift to its highest and best use for the school.

We ask that you consider stretching to make as generous a gift as possible for your family, as early in the school year as possible. You can set up a monthly recurring gift through our online form to stretch out your payments if needed. Having a diverse population is a core value at Barrie School, and therefore the gifts we receive range widely in size. We simply ask that all families stand together by participating at a level that feels appropriate.

Yes! Barrie School values every gift.  Each year our goal is to reach 100 percent participation among our trustees, faculty and staff, and parents. All sizes of gifts carry the same weight in terms of participation and we are proud of the economic diversity our wide range of gifts represents. We cannot achieve 100 percent without a gift from every family.
