The Blake Fund

The Blake Fund is an annual giving campaign for unrestricted operating funds to support Blake’s mission of engaging students with a dynamic, academically challenging education in a diverse and supportive community committed to pluralism and a common set of values. Blake Fund gifts and the annual draw from Blake’s endowment combine to provide $3,000-$4,000 per student in revenue to bridge the gap from what tuition does not cover.

Community-wide participation in philanthropy is a mark of an excellent school:

• Parents and guardians give to affirm the value of the education their children are receiving.
• Alumni give to honor the opportunities given to them by the alumni who came before them. Reunion presents an opportunity to be part of a long tradition of giving to strengthen Blake’s mission and offers each reunion class a collective point of pride.
• Parents and guardians of alumni give in gratitude for the ways Blake prepared their children to flourish.
• Grandparents give to support their grandchildren's supportive and challenging educational experiences. 
• Faculty and staff give to show their appreciation for a school that values their skills and prepares its students to be globally minded citizens.
• The Senior Class Gift is a tradition demonstrating the pride and spirit of the current graduating class. Seniors receive an introduction to Blake philanthropy, striving for 100% participation with Blake Fund gifts.
