Alumni Giving

Great schools don’t just happen. WE make them so.

Remember what made your time at Catlin Gabel special? Profound student-teacher relationships, lasting friendships with peers with varied interests and from all backgrounds, and exciting academics, arts, and athletics that opened minds and worlds. Catlin Gabel needs your support to sustain its programs, students, and teachers, to ensure its role as a leader in independent education.

Ways to Give.

Catlin Gabel’s excellence continues as a result of the generosity of our community. There are many ways to give back, including:

The Annual Fund: The Annual Fund supports the school’s operating budget with annual, unrestricted gifts that help fund our programs, students, and teachers. Tuition and fees only cover 82% of the school's operating budget. The remaining 18% is funded by gifts to the Annual Fund, auction, and endowment investment income. The school values alumni participation at any level because all Catlin Gabel students benefit from the Annual Fund.

The Eagle Club: Do you have the spirit?The Catlin Gabel Annual Fund Eagle Club has been established to honor our athletes, coaches, and athletics program. Contributions to the Eagle Club will help provide funding for essentials that include uniforms, fees for game officials, and coaching stipends. With your gift, we ensure that our athletes and athletics program continue to excel, and that we are one step closer to realizing our financial needs. Supporting the Eagle Club is a great way to honor all the wonderful coaches whose support and guidance helped shape your development at Catlin Gabel and beyond.

Reunion Giving: In reunion years, alumni are asked to come together as a class to support a philanthropic goal. Some examples include raising funds for financial aid, for our athletics program, for robotics, for the arts, or in honor of a beloved teacher.

Why Support Catlin Gabel?

Alumni participation matters. By giving, you acknowledge the critical importance of giving back, of modeling philanthropy for our students and community, and of participation and strength in numbers. Participation percentages motivate and inspire others to give. Our alumni participation goal is 15 percent.
