The Summit Fund

Involvement | Investment | Impact

The Summit’s ability to educate and inspire students and the greater community is made possible by gifts to The Summit Fund. The Summit Fund is the primary way in which alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, friends, foundations, companies and organizations make philanthropic gifts to The Summit. Unrestricted gifts provide The Summit with flexible resources to support a wide range of immediate needs in the current fiscal year. This support provides tuition assistance opportunities for students to transform lives and improve diversity; provides our teachers and coaches with the best professional development available; supports our five-pillar mission and updates facilities and equipment in the areas of academics, athletics and technology.
