The school values parent participation at any level because all Catlin Gabel students benefit from the Annual Fund.
Twenty-five percent of the Annual Fund is composed of participation gifts. Without these gifts the school would not reach its budgeted operating goal. In addition, when the school seeks sponsorship, matching gifts, and grants from corporations and foundations, they often review our participation percentages, which helps them choose the level at which they will support Catlin Gabel. In essence, your participation gifts help secure additional and major gifts for Catlin Gabel. The goal for 2011-12 is 100% participation from parents. . Every gift matters, no matter the size. It's easy to give online.

Last year, parent participation in the Annual Fund reached an all-time high of 80 percent. This year's goal is 100 percent. We can do it!
