Give to Northwest
Your Support Makes a Northwest Education Possible
Give to The Northwest School
The Northwest School experience is powered by our community—parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, Trustees, and friends.
Your support ensures that every student can access Northwest’s full experience: rigorous academics, global experiences, vibrant arts programs, and so much more.
Why Giving Matters
Your support strengthens every part of the Northwest experience. Philanthropy fuels innovative teaching, keeps the arts and athletics strong, provides global learning opportunities, and ensures that every student has access to the full scope of our programs.
Ways to Give
Here are some of our giving opportunities—each one is vital to what makes Northwest unique.

Endowment Giving
Gifts to the Northwest endowment help us respond to ongoing needs in the years ahead, and support the school's financial health.
Endowed funds are long-term investments that support revenue for specific areas, per donor directions.
New endowments can be created to benefit a specific area of the school with pledges of $100,000 and more.
Our largest endowed fund - the Raymond Taussig Terry Financial Aid Endowment - honors our founders, provides funding for students who qualify for financial aid, and ensures that we can continue to attract and enroll eligible students.
The Northwest Experience Fund
For an Equitable Student Experience
The X-fund provides support for additional costs beyond tuition. This allows students who receive financial aid to fully participate all Northwest School experience, inclusive of (but not limited to) books and supplies, art supplies and instruments, athletic gear and travel, and global experiences.
