Here's why & how

Why Give?

The Annual Fund campaign helps bridge the gap in our operating budget between tuition and the actual cost of educating our students.  Your voluntary support is the most tangible way to strengthen your connection with Barnhart School. We ask that every alumnus, parent, grandparent and friend of the School renew their connection every year with a tax-deductible donation to the Annual Fund.

Each and every gift to the Annual Fund makes a difference. Foundations, as well as prospective families, view the Annual Fund participation as an endorsement of our School.
