Support Spruce Street School
Spruce Street School Auction
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund campaign happens every fall to support our students. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Spruce Street School education. Like most independent schools, the school relies on the community to maintain diverse programs, unique educational opportunities, and its commitment to financial aid. The school is grateful for its faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents, grandparents, family members, and trustees who together raise the needed funds to keep the school thriving. Last year we raised more than $215,000 in generous gifts from individuals and matching funds.
Pledges are due by November 12, 2025. Gifts and pledge payments are due by June 11, 2026. We happily accept securities and matching funds. For more information please contact the Development Office.
"At Spruce Street School, every student is empowered to shape and share their unique story with the broader community. What may appear as a simple routine is transformed each day into something truly magical—a reflection of the meaningful learning and deep connections happening all around us…
Join us in writing the next chapter of the Spruce Street School tale by donating to the Annual Fund. Doing so ensures that every Spruce Street School child, now and in the future, continues their journey of joyful discovery and is empowered to be the author of their story each day."

Planned Giving
Help Plan for Spruce Street School’s Future
Planned giving is practical for many families, not just those with the greatest wealth. This avenue for giving allows Spruce Street School to safely plan for the future while ensuring a lasting legacy. Planned gifts often require assistance from your professional financial advisor. These gifts typically come from assets in your estate rather than disposable income, and typically come to maturity upon your death.
Ways to Give:
- Charitable Remainder Trust
- Charitable Lead Trust
- Endowment Gift
- IRA Charitable Rollover
- Life Insurance Policies
- Memorial and Tribute Gifts
- Real Estate
- Retirement Plan Assets
Please discuss with your professional financial advisor to learn how to support Spruce Street School’s future with a planned gift, or contact the Development Office.
Volunteering
Spruce Street School relies on volunteers to support a broad range of projects. We ask our new families to tell us their skills, interests, and passions so that we can call on them to help us. Parents volunteer to do things like plan events, chaperone trips, read to students, provide snacks, fundraise, maintain our facilities, and work on the Board of Trustees or in committees—just to name a few!
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the office.
