Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is HWS’s most important fundraising activity of the year and is an essential part of the school’s operating budget. Our annual budget is comprised of a blend of tuition income and your philanthropic support. Together, these funds support the current operations and essential needs of the school. The Annual Fund drive is an appeal to all members of our community to make tax-deductible contributions that help ensure the best possible education for our children. These gifts improve the daily lives of students and faculty members.

We invite you to consider supporting us in the critical areas listed below as part of our annual fund, now through December 31, 2024. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a positive impact as we work toward our goals.

Here’s how your gift can help:
