Duke Ellington donations

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a sense regarding what the appropriate amount to donate to Duke Ellington throughout the school year is?
Is there an expectation? A range?

TIA

They get so much funding from taxpayers. I wouldn’t be offering more cash until you see how they’ve spending what they already have.

Arrange to have a conversation with their development person. There’s a an email address on the site. They could likely introduce you to other families that give $$

They don't get anymore than other schools get and the taxpayer money only covers academics. The arts part is funded through fundraising. That's the model for nearly every arts school in America. Donate what you can afford. There is no "appropriate" amount.

Donate what you feel comfortable doing. It varies widely based on what families can reasonably afford.
