BELIEVE IN BROOKS
THANK YOU! Giving Day 2025 was a phenomenal success. We are so honored that 956 Brooksians showed their love for Brooks with a gift. Thanks to you, we exceeded our original goal of 750 donors AND our stretch goal of 850 donors. We also met 5 challenges, securing an extra $130,000 from our generous community. Together, we raised $550,523 for the Brooks Fund! We appreciate the outpouring of support for the people, places, and programs that define Brooks School. Thank you for believing in Brooks! Don’t worry if you missed Giving Day, you can still visit www.brooksschool.org/giving to make your annual donation to the Brooks Fund.
Can I make a gift before February 6 and have it counted for Giving Day?
