A capital gift goes toward projects like new buildings or other campus improvements. A gift to endowment provides a long-term investment in scholarships, faculty excellence, or other endowed funds. An annual gift (to the Dunn fund) goes to work immediately to provide for the personalized approach to education that makes Dunn School so special.

We ask you to give as generously as you are able. Your gift, of any amount, makes a difference!

We urge you to consider a gift with "no strings attached." Such unrestricted donations give the leaders at Dunn the flexibility to address the most urgent funding priorities as needs arise. However, if you have a particular passion—such as academics, scholarships, athletics or the arts—then you may restrict your gift for a specific purpose.

Yes. Leaving Dunn in your estate plans benefits you and the school in many ways. We also can accept a number of planned gift instruments, such as charitable annuities, remainder trusts, etc. Please consult your estate advisor, or we can put you in touch with an independent advisor if needed. 

Dunn School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, so any charitable gift is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Additional tax benefits may also be realized through gifts of stock, real estate or other assets. Please consult a tax professional for advice.
