Annual Giving - what did you give in terms of $?

[Anonymous]

ZERO!!!! They keep raising the fees without offering balance sheets, we are leaving for public.

School is more than 30K, and we are in the income zone where we make a little too much to qualify for FA, but not enough to really afford it. We give $500, which is a stretch, give to the teachers at holiday/end-of-year, and donate more than 5K worth of items to the auction each year.

[quote=Anonymous]We give 50 percent of tuition. We will have two in next year but the giving will stay at 50 percent of one tuition.


Lucky you! No way we can afford that (paying for college and full rate tuition (36K+ at a private).

we'll make a small gift to help with participation, but the year over year tuition increases have tapped our ability to make additional gifts to the school.

We donate equal to one year's tuition.
