ROWLAND HALL ANNUAL FUND Like most independent schools, the cost of a Rowland Hall education is not fully covered by tuition and fees. The Annual Fund makes up the difference between tuition and fees and the cost of operating the school. It supports all areas of school life, including academics, athletics, the arts, and technology. It supplements the financial aid budget, offers professional development for faculty and staff, and more. Each year, we ask all Rowland Hall community members to make the Annual Fund a priority in their giving.
Rowland Hall honors and recognizes the generosity of our Annual Fund donors through the following giving levels. 1867 Circle $50,000+ Tuttle Circle $25,000–$49,999 Head of School Circle $10,000–$24,999 Winged Lion Circle $5,000–$9,999 Hallmarker Circle $1,500–$4,999 Friends $1–$1,499 Ask if your employer offers a matching gift program that may double or triple your gift. Donors are recognized for their total Annual Fund giving to the school, including corporate matching gifts.
GIFTS OF EVERY SIZE MATTER.
ENDOWMENTS Endowment gifts provide permanent support for Rowland Hall. These funds are invested, and a portion of the earnings is used each year to support priorities such as scholarships, faculty development, academic programs, and innovation, ensuring that your generosity benefits generations of students to come. The Todd Brickson Rowmark Endowment Fund provides long-term, flexible support for Rowmark Ski Academy’s greatest needs, to supplement coaching salaries, provide financial support to recruit top athletes, and create the best experience possible for our athletes.
LEGACY GIVING Leaving a bequest to Rowland Hall can transform the lives of our students for generations to come. Legacy giving (planned giving) includes bequests, gifts of retirement plan assets, gifts of life insurance, and IRA distributions. Donors who have made provisions in their will or estate planning belong to our Legacy Society. We are grateful for their foresight and commitment. A legacy gift, no matter the size, will help us continue to unlock the immense potential of our students far into the future.
If you have any questions about giving or getting involved, please reach out to Robyn Jensen, director of institutional advancement, at 801-924-2961 or robynjensen@rowlandhall.org.
