How Do We Use Your Gifts?
Planned Gifts: Leaving a Lasting Legacy at Friends Select
At Friends Select School, planned gifts are a meaningful way for our community to leave a lasting impact. By including the school in your estate plan, you help strengthen our endowment—the cornerstone of our financial stability and the engine that allows us to invest in our students, faculty, and programs for generations to come. Every planned gift ensures that Friends Select can continue to offer an exceptional education rooted in Quaker values of respect, simplicity, and community.
Planned gifts to the endowment provide enduring support for areas that matter most to you. Whether you choose to contribute to the general endowment or create a named fund, your gift helps generate sustainable income that supports financial aid, faculty excellence, and enriching academic and extracurricular programs. In this way, your generosity today continues to make a difference long into the future.
Supporting Students Through Financial Aid
Friends Select is committed to welcoming a diverse and vibrant student body, reflecting the full spectrum of Philadelphia’s communities. Currently, 90% of financial aid is funded through the school’s operating budget; planned gifts to the endowment help ensure that talented students from all backgrounds can access a Friends Select education for years to come. Your legacy gift can make education more inclusive, opening doors for students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to thrive here.
Investing in Faculty Excellence
Our dedicated faculty are the heart of Friends Select’s educational experience. Planned gifts to the endowment for faculty provide critical resources to attract and retain exceptional educators, support professional development, and enrich teaching practices across the curriculum. By investing in our teachers, you help create an environment where students can learn, grow, and flourish under the guidance of highly skilled and inspired educators.
Your Legacy at Friends Select
A planned gift is more than a donation—it is a statement of your values and a commitment to the future of Friends Select. By choosing to support the endowment, you join a community of friends and alumni who are ensuring that our school continues to be a place of learning, growth, and Quaker-centered community for generations to come.
