Blue and White Fund - Current Parents

Gifts to the Blue & White Fund provide Gulf Stream with the most flexibility to attend to the School’s greatest and most immediate areas of need. Every year, Gulf Stream has a prioritized list of special projects, teacher requests, and programmatic needs. Blue & White Fund gifts help us realize those goals and fulfill the high expectations of our students, parents, and faculty.

We are building a culture of philanthropy, which is a common sense of responsibility for supporting Gulf Stream. Typically, higher participation translates into more success financially. Also, other donors often look at the level of participation as a measure of an institution’s health and future potential. Donors considering gifts want to be sure their investment will have a positive impact in the future, rather than being used to cover a debt, pay a bill, or simply keep an organization afloat.

This is a personal decision for each individual or family. Gulf Stream School has fewer supporters than most secondary schools, universities, or other larger community charities. Because the number who will give is small but the need is large, every gift counts more. This reasoning leads many families to make GSS their annual philanthropic priority. Leadership level giving starts at $2,500, but we receive gifts that range from $10 to more than $50,000. Your investment makes a huge difference in the daily lives of our students and teachers. We are sincerely appreciative of you generosity.

Certainly. In order to include you as a participant, all we need now is a pledge. It can be honored any time prior to June 30th.

Class Representatives are parents who have volunteered to assist others with the Blue and White Fund. They are class ambassadors who serve as a valuable resource to anyone with questions or concerns. They make early and often leadership level gifts in addition to the time and energy they commit to supporting their children’s school. Please consider rewarding their efforts and make sure to thank them for helping your child’s school.

Increasing tuition would make it unaffordable for some and might discourage prospective families from considering Gulf Stream as a viable option for their child(ren). Minimizing tuition increases ensures that the School can retain, attract, and potentially enroll the area’s best students

They LOVE this School and the value it brings to their families and our community. These gifts directly and immediately support the students, faculty, and programs that make Gulf Stream School so special. This means continued small classes, the best teachers, and resources beyond what other schools offer. Individualized learning, new technology, professional development, financial aid, and exceptional academic, artistic, and athletic programs all benefit from these annual gifts.

Because our goal is to streamline and simplify the ways in which we ask for your support, we will focus on only two major fundraisers every year. The Blue & White Fund will run from October through December. The Parents’ Auxiliary organizes one major event in the Spring. These two initiatives directly support our School’s mission and benefit the students and faculty.
