Frequently Asked Questions
My family already pays tuition. Why am I asked for contributions in addition to tuition?
Tuition and fees cover the mission of LES and its basic operation. Philanthropic gifts which include Annual Fund, Gala, Capital, and Endowment contributions allow LES to fund the full vision of the school.
What is the difference between the LES Fund and other giving opportunities?
The LES Fund is our most critical fundraising initiative. It supports many of the school’s most pressing priorities, such as providing a robust tuition assistance program, offering faculty professional development, making campus improvements, supporting our academic and humanities programs, retaining faculty and staff, and much more. Annual Fund gifts are expended in the year given so your gift will immediately impact the daily lives of all students.
How much am I expected to give?
We understand that tuition is a significant investment and every family’s capacity is different. We hope that LES will become your number one philanthropic priority and that you contribute at a level that is personally meaningful and makes sense for your family. We need a number of leadership gifts to meet our goal and we also appreciate gifts from all giving levels. Every gift matters and makes a difference.
