Green & Gold Challenge
Our first giving day on May 8th, 2023 was a huge success! Stay tuned for our second annual Green and Gold Challenge on April 9th, 2024
What is the Green & Gold Challenge?
The Green & Gold Challenge is a day of giving for Pine Point School which is one part of our annual giving campaign. Other parts include our annual fund, golf tournament, and gala fundraiser. Annual giving supports our entire program, and ensures that Pine Point can continue to provide an exceptional educational experience.
Why give to the Green & Gold Challenge?
We appreciate your support any time of year, but making a gift today can have a significant impact! If we receive 150 gifts of any size, it will help us unlock a challenge gift of $50,000. Each and every gift will help us reach our goal. There are additional challenges as well to unlock, so your gift can help increase the overall amount Pine Point receives on this day.
What does my donation support?
Each Pine Point student’s education is financed by both tuition and annual giving. Tuition alone only covers about 88% of a student’s education; the difference, or “gap,” comes in large part from our annual giving campaigns. In addition, about 30% of our students receive need-based financial aid, which is also supported by annual giving.
How much should I give?
We appreciate gifts of all sizes – every gift matters. We have received gifts from $5 to $50,000 as part of our annual giving campaigns.
Can I give more than once?
Yes – if any of the challenges or give-aways throughout the day inspire you, please give again!
Can I make a gift by check or other method?
Yes – if you would like to write a check, or make a wire or stock transfer, you can find more information on our website. Checks can be mailed to Pine Point School, Development Office, 89 Barnes Road, Stonington CT 06378. You can also call 860 535-0606 or email us at [email protected] with any questions. Just let the development office know that your gift is directed to the Green & Gold Challenge.
Can I use matching funds from my employer?
Yes – many companies offer matching gift programs that will increase the value of a gift. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions or help in completing any necessary forms.
