Giving to Canterbury

A Canterbury education is made possible by a community that believes in the lasting value of strong relationships, thoughtful teaching, and meaningful opportunities for students to grow.

Gifts to Canterbury directly support the people and programs that shape confident learners, compassionate leaders, and engaged citizens. Every contribution helps strengthen the experience for current students and for those who will follow.

Together, our community helps ensure Canterbury continues to provide an environment where students are known, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Why Giving Matters.

Tuition alone does not fully support the depth of the Canterbury experience. Philanthropic support helps sustain and strengthen the people, programs, and opportunities that shape student life in meaningful ways.

Gifts to Canterbury make it possible to recruit and support exceptional teachers, expand academic and enrichment opportunities, and strengthen programs in the arts, athletics, and student life. They also help ensure the continued growth and long-term vitality of the school, allowing Canterbury to provide an experience that is both distinctive and enduring.

Giving is an investment in the experiences that help students develop confidence, character, and a lifelong love of learning.

Endowment

Endowment gifts are a long-term investment in the school’s future. A strong endowment provides lasting financial stability, and advances our mission in perpetuity.

Canterbury School has endowments that directly support:

  • Unrestricted / Greatest need
  • Faculty and program enrichment
  • Financial assistance
  • Capital maintenance and improvements

Similar to endowment, naming opportunities offer donors the chance to make a meaningful and enduring impact on the school.

Planned Giving

Planned giving offers families and friends of Canterbury School an opportunity to make a lasting impact on future generations through legacy gifts such as bequests, trusts, retirement assets, or life insurance policies. Donors who include Canterbury in their estate plans become members of the All Saints’ Circle.

Families interested in learning more are encouraged to contact Canterbury’s Advancement Office to discuss options and document their intentions.
