A Message from the Director

Welcome!

We are very excited about the launch of this new website and the opportunity to expand our GIVING pages, and we hope that you will find them both helpful and informative. We plan even more exciting changes as we continue to develop and enhance the site throughout the year!

As you may have noticed we have new pages under “Giving” including an online giving page that allows you to make a secure gift to Orchard House directly from this website – Give Now! – and it’s as easy as can be!

On the GIVING Home page you’ll read about the Culture of Philanthropy at Orchard House and how philanthropic giving is aligned with our mission and values. You’ll find a useful overview of the types of gifts made most often to the school on the Areas of Giving page, information that we hope will help you to make an informed decision about opportunities that meet your own philanthropic goals.

Check out our progress towards goal in the campaign updates on the Annual Fund page. Perhaps you have a question like – what kind of gift offers the greatest tax advantages for the donor? – the answer can be found in FAQs. Make sure to look for information on Spirit Week, the last week in March, the end of the active phase of the annual fund campaign. Lots of activities and fun for everyone during our campaign wrap-up!

Need a printable gift form, or information on stock transfers? Head to the Ways to Give page where you’ll also find information on Gifts-in-Kind and other ways to support Orchard House School.

Please take a moment to check out all the new offerings in the GIVING section of the website and let us know what you think. We welcome your comments and suggestions on making this your go-to source for information on charitable giving at Orchard House.

Your care and your passion for Orchard House, for our mission, and most importantly, for our girls is the heart-light of this community! Thank you for helping to create “A Culture of Philanthropy” at Orchard House.

Warmest regards,

Julie
