The Hotchkiss Fund and the Parents Fund
Your gifts to The Hotchkiss Fund and the Parents Fund are an investment in the School's students and teachers — and the impact they will have on their communities and the world. In addition to providing 12 percent of the operating budget, the Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the cost of educating each student. The Fund also supports day-to-day operations, ongoing maintenance, and faculty development, among other high-priority needs.
