Give Every Year. Impact Every Day. 

As tuition does not cover the full cost of a Dexter Southfield education, unrestricted gifts to the Dexter Southfield Fund provide the School an invaluable resource to use at its discretion. The Dexter Southfield Fund is an essential source of revenue for the operating budget – meaning your gift supports every aspect of daily life at the School and has an immediate impact.  

Dexter Southfield operates on a fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. Gifts received by June 30 will count toward that year’s fundraising total. As the Dexter Southfield Fund is an annual initiative, community members are asked to make a gift annually. Gifts and pledges made earlier in the School year can be put to immediate use.  

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, simply request a matching gift form from your employer and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to Dexter Southfield may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please enter your employer's name below:

We ask you to consider making a gift at a level most comfortable and meaningful to you and your family. Gifts to the Dexter Southfield Fund range in size from $5 to $100,000. Leadership contributions (gifts of $2,500 or more) represent more than 85 percent of the Dexter Southfield Fund’s total. Leadership donors receive special recognition. All gifts to the Dexter Southfield Fund are tax deductible.

The Dexter Southfield Fund is the School’s most important philanthropic priority. The School is grateful for donors who have also chosen to support recent capital projects, including the Athletics and Wellness Initiative and the Building a Better Tomorrow project, endowment and special funds, and planned giving.
