| We’re making the private vs. public decision. HHI is $500k. Wondering how much to budget beyond regular tuition. TIA! |

| We donate $2500 for 2 kids at the same school. This year they will be at two different school so I will probably do $1000-$1500 per kid. Our donation is high for most parents. The average family probably donates $250-$500. Don't sweat how much you donate. Just donate immediately as soon as the Annual Fund starts so you won't get calls and emails. After you donate, no one is going to come and ask if you will give a higher amount. They will say thank you, check you off the list, and leave you alone. Unless you don't plan to donate, you will get hounded until they receive a no or a donation. |
