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

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.

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 $$

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
