Senior Parents' Gift 2024
In support of the Class of 2024 Financial Aid Fund
Organizer
Why should I contribute to the Class of 2024 Financial Aid Fund?
The Class Gift given by senior parents and their families establishes a class legacy, creates an occasion for Seniors to experience the joy of giving back, and helps provide support for future generations of HM students. By participating, financial aid is enhanced and more solidly embedded as a core strategic element of our commitment to academic excellence, opportunity creation, and leadership development.
If I can't make a large gift, does a small gift really make a difference?
Yes! The school values every gift, regardless of the amount of the donation. The collective impact of the Class Gift will benefit current and future financial aid recipients. Your gift will go even further and will be matched $1 to $1 up to $70,000 from an anonymous group of generous donors. Your donation will be worth double to future financial aid recipients.
How much should I donate?
Last year, gifts for the Class of 2023 Financial Aid Fund ranged from $50 to $25,000. The average gift was $1,600, the median gift was $500, and the most frequent gift given (mode) was $100. Every gift does matter and every gift does make a difference.
Are gifts tax deductible?
