Do major gifts make up most of the Annual Fund?
Yes, leadership giving is the mainstay of the School’s Annual Fund. Last year, leadership gifts represented more than 80%, of the total unrestricted annual gifts received. The School depends on strong leadership giving from its most loyal and generous benefactors and gives special recognition to them through membership in the Maroon and White Circle or Maroon and White Fellowship (young alumni). All leadership donors are acknowledged in the Annual Report of Donors and invited to different events hosted by the Head of School, the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council. Nearly 800 graduates, parents, grandparents, and parents of graduates are counted among the school’s most generous philanthropists. As you consider your level of support for Horace Mann School’s Annual Fund, please consider joining the Maroon and White Circle, the Maroon and White Fellowship or moving to the next highest level of support. Company matching gifts received by the Fund’s closing date, June 30th, are counted
