Greenwood is a school with a bold future. Unlike institutions that have existed for centuries, we are still building the permanent resources that will protect our mission through economic shifts and changing times. This is where Planned Giving becomes our most powerful tool for sustainability.
When you leave a legacy gift to Greenwood College School or to the Greenwood College School Foundation, you are not just donating; you are planting a seed.
Legacy gifts to the School transform into action the moment they reach the school, creating immediate and meaningful opportunities for our students to venture further.
- Innovation in Real-Time: Because a planned gift can support either the Foundation or the School, it frees up annual funds to be used for immediate innovations in technology, the arts, and experiential learning - things like new theatre equipment, Media Lab upgrades, and support for the Student Success Centre.
Legacy gifts to the Foundation in an endowment fund ensure the core of your gift remains untouched and protected. At the same time, the annual growth provides a steady, reliable source of support for Greenwood students for generations to come.
- Long-Term Stability: Endowments provide a stream of income that allows the school to plan decades by providing permanent sources of income for the school to support the school’s greatest needs - things like financial assistance, teacher excellence, and outdoor education.
- True Accessibility: Legacy gifts left to the Foundation are the primary engine for Student Financial Assistance. They ensure that a Greenwood education is available to the most talented students, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
