The Berkeley Fund

Contributions supplement tuition dollars to give our teachers well-earned salary increases; provide teaching tools and equipment to enhance our children’s classroom, athletic, and fine arts opportunities; and subsidize our endowment program, which in turn helps keep tuition affordable.

Tuition alone does not cover the actual expense of educating each child. Families who give to the Berkeley Fund subsidize the true cost of a Berkeley education.

We want Berkeley to be affordable to every qualified student and so we try to keep tuition reasonable.

Only you can determine the amount of your gift to Berkeley. We encourage every family to make philanthropy a priority. By our example, we teach our students—our future leaders—the value of giving generously to help others. There are gift clubs to suit anyone’s comfort level. The Impact Report is an excellent guide when determining your own gift level.

No, you can pledge your gift now and indicate a payment schedule that is most convenient for you and we will be happy to remind you when your pledge is due. All pledges should be paid in full by the end of Berkeley’s fiscal year on June 30. Gifts may be paid by cash, check, stock transfer, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or American Express). You may also set up an electronic transfer schedule. Alternatively, contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at advancement@berkeleyprep.org to find out how easy it is to donate appreciated stock.
