Rise to the Challenge: Geffen Academy #GivingTuesday Campaign

Dear Geffen Academy Community,

This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to rise to the challenge and help us reach new heights! Every gift, no matter the size, directly elevates the experience of every student and powers the innovative programs that make Geffen Academy truly exceptional.

At the heart of this effort are our dedicated Educators, who uplift and inspire our students daily. Their commitment enables our students to explore boldly, think critically, and grow into compassionate leaders. By supporting the Geffen Academy Fund, you help provide our Educators with the resources they need to bring out the best in every student.

Your contributions are vital in keeping our school at the forefront of innovation and educational excellence. The Geffen Academy Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the full cost of delivering the exceptional Geffen Academy experience, which represents 5.7% of our budget, approximately $1.4 million. Here’s how your generosity makes an impact:

• Recruiting and Retaining the Best Educators: Attracting and supporting outstanding Educators who inspire and challenge our students.
• Providing State-of-the-Art Technology: Equipping classrooms with the tools that foster curiosity and deeper learning.
• Enriching Programs: Strengthening our arts, athletics, and extracurriculars to create well-rounded, engaged students.
• Promoting Diversity and Access: Offering tuition assistance that helps build an inclusive community where all students have the opportunity to thrive.

You can also honor a special Educator by making a donation in their name—an impactful way to express gratitude for their dedication to our students.

This is your opportunity to make a lasting difference. Together, we can elevate the educational experience for every student and rise to the challenge of driving innovation and strengthening our entire community.

Ready to take us to new heights? Click here to make your gift today.

Other payment options are available, and those gifts may be counted toward our #GivingTuesday goal if they are received by December 3.
