Your Gift to Watkinson’s Annual Fund Makes a Lasting Impact
Every contribution to Watkinson’s Annual Fund is vital in sustaining the school’s mission of ensuring each student develops the skills to shape their lives and the world around them through an educational program that deeply engages and challenges all learners. Gifts to The Fund for Everyday Excellence are unrestricted, meaning your donation goes directly toward meeting the most immediate and pressing needs of our school community.
Why Your Gift Matters

Whether it’s funding athletic team uniforms, theater costumes, or field trips for Global Studies and Creative Arts programs, your support provides students with the tools they need to excel both inside and outside the classroom.
• Strengthens Our Community: Your contribution directly supports financial aid programs, making education more accessible to a diverse range of students, and helps retain the exceptional faculty who are the backbone of Watkinson.
