Capital Gifts & Endowed Funds

Securing the Future

The 2018 Strategic Plan sets forth a path that optimizes Episcopal’s unique strengths, takes academic excellence to new heights, and leads to the future-focused and exceptional delivery of our mission. School leadership is committed to achieving the plan’s priorities in a fiscally responsible way and supporting conservative tuition growth to help with affordability.

To that end, capital gifts allow EHS to complete key campus building projects identified in the strategic plan, and gifts to the EHS endowment create revenue that is imperative to the implementation of our significant initiatives.
