Endowment & Restricted Gifts

Endowment

Simply stated, the endowment is Prep's permanent financial reserve that is used to underscore and support the school's operating budget.  The endowment provides a portion of its value each year in restricted funds available for campus support. 

Endowed funds are established by one or more donors with the intention of leaving the principal balance intact while the school utilizes the interest earned over the course of the year. 

Fairfield Prep has more than 60 endowed funds to support a variety of programs such as student scholarship aid, technology resource enhancement, faculty professional development, student academic development as well as building and plant maintenance.

Our goal is to grow the Prep endowment to over $50 million in the next several years.

Restricted Gifts 

Restricted gifts are those gifts to Prep that go directly towards a specific endowed fund or toward an established operating program.

Restricted gifts tend to be larger in size and can be paid over several years, as they are often used by Prep to support an academic scholarship, or other defined operating need, over an extended period of time.

Honor / Memorial Gifts

For those who would like to make a gift to Prep and, at the same time, recognize a person who has played a significant role in your life, you can express your gratitude in honor or memory of that person in a variety of ways. From modest gifts to our Annual Fund, to larger contributions to our General Honor / Memorial Scholarship Fund, or the creation of a new restricted or endowed fund, this can be a unique and long lasting way to remember someone special.
