Q:

Who can participate? (Hint … it’s everyone!)

A:

Our annual Day of Giving is a community-wide effort! We invite everyone with a connection to Head-Royce to join us with a gift of any amount—every gift makes a difference! This special day showcases our incredible community of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends whose long-lasting connections and contributions ensure Head-Royce’s lasting legacy.

Q:

When can I give?

A:

Head-Royce’s Day of Giving is a 24 hour effort! Give between 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM on March 6 to take part in exciting challenges and incentives throughout the day.

You may also support Head-Royce throughout the year in partnership with the Advancement Office. We’d love to speak with you about your giving goals!

Q:

How can I give?

A:

The Day of Giving website accepts many forms of payment: credit card, Venmo, Paypal, Bitcoin, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, or pledge via check. Simply click Give Now.

If you prefer to make a Day of Giving contribution using a giving method not mentioned above, please contact Molly Donovan, our Director of Annual Giving.

Q:

What is the Annual Fund? And what does my gift support?

A:

The Annual Fund is the philanthropic foundation that touches nearly every area of the school. The largest support is for student scholarships and faculty salaries, providing for the core community of Head-Royce. From Athletics to Arts to STEM education, each program at Head-Royce benefits from your support.

Q:

Can I set up a match or challenge on the Day of Giving?

A:

Yes! You can amplify the impact of your gift by creating a Day of Giving challenge for our community. Just click here and follow the prompts.

These offer a great opportunity to inspire your fellow classmates, parents, or the broader donor community through your giving. You can choose an unlocking challenge (ex: give $100 when 10 supporters give) or a matching challenge (ex: give $5 for every $1 given up to $100). Want to restrict your challenge to only certain groups like alumni from your class or current parents? You can! Select your group from the Restrict Challenge to dropdown.

Looking to restrict your gift to a particular Annual Fund giving designation? Follow the prompts to set up your desired challenge structure and then email Molly Donovan with your preferred designation to finalize the details.

Q:

I made a gift to Head-Royce already this fiscal year. Will I be counted for the Day of Giving?

A:

Thank you for your support of Head-Royce! The Day of Giving effort is focused on new gifts to the school, as we have only reached 70% of our fiscal goal. Please consider making a nominal gift to help us reach today’s participation goals and unlock challenge funds!

Q:

Can I make multiple gifts during the Day of Giving?

A:

Of course! However, you will only be counted once as a donor. Multiple gifts will not help increase overall donor count or your class donor count but will add to the funds that help Head-Royce students and faculty.

Q:

Will my sustaining gift be counted for the Day of Giving?

A:

Thank you for your ongoing support! If you set up a new sustaining gift during the challenge — or increase the size of an existing sustaining gift — that will be counted for the challenge. If you are already a sustaining donor, you can make an additional gift of any size during the Day of Giving, and you will be counted.

Q:

I want to make a gift via stock (or an IRA, a donor-advised fund, etc.). Can I participate too?

A:

Yes! Please email Molly Donovan to discuss giving options and participation in Day of Giving challenges, including making a pledge that can be fulfilled by June 30, 2024.

Q:

Still have questions?

A:

Please email Molly Donovan for answers or guidance.
