Culture of Giving

The Brandeis Fund

SUPPORTING BRANDEIS TODAY

The Brandeis Fund is our school’s annual fund and a vital source of support for the Brandeis experience. Each year, parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends make unrestricted gifts that give the school the flexibility to invest where resources are needed most.

Together, these gifts provide more than 7% of the school’s annual operating budget, supporting the exceptional educators, programs, resources, and experiences that tuition alone does not fully cover. Every gift goes to work immediately to enrich the experience of every Brandeis student.

WHAT YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES POSSIBLE
Annual giving touches nearly every aspect of life at Brandeis. Here are just a few examples:
  • Learning specialists and counselors supporting Lower and Middle School students
  • 630+ new books and magazines added to our Media Resource Center
  • 200+ student-athletes participating on 16 teams in grades 5–8
  • 102 students participating in band, chorus, and musical theater
  • 271 laptops for students in grades 3–8
  • 108 iPads for students in grades K–2
  • $60,000+ in professional development for faculty and staff
  • Outdoor educational retreats for students in grades 4–8
  • 38+ field trips extending learning beyond the classroom
  • Tuition Assistance that helps make a Brandeis education accessible to more families
From exceptional teaching and individualized support to athletics, arts, technology, experiential learning, and Jewish life, the Brandeis Fund strengthens the experience of every student, every day.

EVERY GIFT MATTERS

Gifts of every size make a meaningful difference. Broad participation reflects our shared commitment to our students, our educators, and the community we build together—and the Jewish value of tzedakah, our responsibility to help sustain the community we share.

MAKE YOUR GIFT

Make the Brandeis Fund a philanthropic priority with a gift that is meaningful to you and your family.
