Support Us
There are many ways to show your support for Canterbury School. Whether you are a first-time supporter or a long-time benefactor, we appreciate your generosity and guarantee that your gift will be used to positively impact the educational experience of our students.
There are many ways to donate to Canterbury School:
The Fund for Canterbury
A gift to The Fund for Canterbury School is more than a donation — it’s an investment in our students, our teachers, and the intentional experiences that make Canterbury extraordinary. While tuition sustains the day-to-day, the Fund takes us from good to great. It fuels innovative programs, strengthens professional development, and ensures our people and curriculum can flourish in ways that go beyond the basics.
Because of the generosity of our community, the funds for this year’s summer study program were fully donated — allowing our teachers and students to dream bigger, reach further, and grow with purpose.
At Canterbury, every detail is built with intention. The Fund for Canterbury ensures we can continue to invest in what matters most: people and programs that shape confident, values-driven leaders.
You can make your Annual Fund gift to Canterbury School in several ways:
- A check payable to Canterbury School
- A one-time or recurring credit card payment
- Gifts of stocks or securities

Planned Giving
Canterbury’s endowment is the equivalent of a long-term savings or retirement account. A healthy endowment financially fortifies a school. With a reliable stream of endowment income, administrators can maintain accessible tuition and therefore budget confidently for worthy projects. Income from endowment supports financial assistance for Canterbury students, provides teachers and staff with professional development opportunities, maintains the school’s physical plant, and enriches our expanding programs.
Should you consider a planned gift? The answer is simple: yes. You can make a meaningful gift to the school while generating income for yourself and your loved ones. There are often applicable state and income tax deductions, as well as opportunities to avoid capital gains. Planned giving is a prudent way to diversify your investments.
We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about planned giving options. In addition, a representative from Canterbury School is available to discuss these gifting options with you or your financial advisor.
Special Events
Each year, Canterbury sponsors at least one special event to raise operating revenue in addition to The Fund for Canterbury. The Canterbury Parents Association helps coordinate these events with capable volunteers. There are many opportunities to get involved. Special events include an auction every other year and a student-centered Spring Fling in non-auction years. Stay tuned for the link to the 2026 Blue & White Gala and Auction!
