Giving to Laurel

Thank you for exploring the opportunity to support Laurel School. This section of the website is devoted to helping alumnae, parents and friends invest in Laurel in ways that are most meaningful to you and the School. Your interest in supporting Laurel reflects a deep commitment to the educational excellence provided for more than a century. And, we couldn't have done it without you!
Every year the Laurel Fund increases the value added of a Laurel education. Classroom materials, faculty salaries, athletics, the arts, technology and more–all are enhanced through annual giving.

Every dollar invested by the School in the $52+ million endowment was a gift dollar from someone who cares deeply about Laurel School. Thanks to amazing oversight, the endowment continues to grow and grow!

Over the years, gift dollars have touched every aspect of life at Laurel, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Don’t hesitate to call if you have questions.
