Giving

The Lawrenceville Fund

Every gift to The Lawrenceville Fund from alumni, parents and friends, whatever its size, makes a valuable and immediate difference to the School.

Purpose

The Lawrenceville Fund is Lawrenceville’s annual giving campaign. The Fund is a vital part of the School’s finances. Tuition alone accounts for only about 60 percent of the cost of a Lawrenceville education. Income from Lawrenceville’s endowment and The Lawrenceville Fund makes up the difference. Each year, alumni, parents and friends make unrestricted gifts that provide about 10 percent of the School’s operating budget.
