GIVE WEEK

Unleash your inner philanthropist! We want to make a tremendous impact in a short amount of time. If as many Study families as possible participate and make a gift of any size during Give Week, the school benefits from $15,000 in matching gifts, and stronger community spirit. There is a power in combined giving - Give Week harnesses that power!

Yes! Any gift to The Study may be designated to the area of your choice – you may choose to support an area or project that is meaningful to you. This could be the redesign of our Active Outdoor Learning Spaces, the General Endowment, Head’s Initiatives, Bursaries and Scholarships, Facilities Enhancements or anything else!

During Give Week, some donors step up to encourage participation by offering to match any participating gifts (regardless of size!) with another $150 gift, up to a maximum of 100 gifts or $15,000.

Each family making a gift during Give Week (again, of any size) will count toward growing participation and strong community spirit, for the purpose of the matching gift. Make it $20, $50, $100 or whatever you are comfortable with! Give Week is all about participation, for everyone!

Any current Study parent can support The Study during Give Week by making a gift of any amount.

First, thank you for your previous gift - it will count towards the overall class participation percentage (%). If you consider participating once again (even just a nominal amount), your gift will help us secure another $150 in matching funds. Thank you for your leadership, support and inspiration to other parents!

Yes. Alone it may feel small, but together with 100 other similar gifts, there is opportunity to invest in something larger. Never discount the power of your gift at any level. It all adds up.

During Give Week, we will be reporting on participation levels only (not dollars). We will present the levels of participation by grade, as well as the overall increase in parent participation since the start of the week.

Participating families with more than one daughter will have their participation counted in all grades in which they have daughters. You can make one new gift, and your participation will be reflected in each of your daughters’ grades’ participation percentages. You do not need to make a separate gift for each grade.

For total percentage of participation, we will include existing and new donors to the Annual Giving Campaign for this fiscal year 2020-2021. Eligibility for the matching gift, however, only includes gifts made during Give Week, whether you already gave or whether this is your first gift this year.

You may make your gift online here. You may also make your gift by cheque (made to The Study School Foundation) or cash. 

For more information on these and other ways of giving, please view our Ways of Giving section, or contact the Advancement Office at 514-953-9352 ext 254.

Make a Gift

Yes!

Yes, in our annual Report on Giving, your name will be listed as anonymous.

Your decision to be anonymous is a personal one and will be respected. Whenever you make a charitable donation, the details of your gift (amount, designation, etc) are always kept confidential. In the context of Give Week, we will be tracking and calculating participation levels by Grade and communicating that to parents. The focus of this Campaign is simply participation - that is what counts. Therefore, while your donation details will be anonymous, your participation in this campaign will still be included in the totals of class participation.

Of Course!  We will offer challenge level incentives for the class with the biggest increase in participation during Give Week, to any class who gets to 100% participation, and to any class who gets to over 75% participation.

The Trillium Tribute Wall allows you to leave a profound and tangible mark within The Study’s history by purchasing a beautifully engraved porcelain and brushed aluminum Trillium emblem.

With a gift of $5,000*, you can honour up to 3 individuals - your daughter, a family member, a classmate, a friend - by engraving their name on an 8-inch Trillium emblem, which will be permanently showcased on the Trillium Tribute Wall centrally located in the main Soutar pavilion.

*Your purchase of a Trillium emblem can be made in a number of convenient ways: $84/month for 5 years, OR $1,000/year for 5 years, OR $2,500/year for 2 years, OR a one-time gift.
