SUPPORTING LEFFELL: FAQ

Money raised provides critical resources to:

Donations to the Leffell School Annual Fund meet the ever-increasing costs of our day school education. The fund helps to close the gap between tuition income and the actual costs.

The common thread among our donors is not the size of their gifts, but rather that each has made a conscious decision to support the Leffell School Annual Fund in a manner commensurate with their capacity to give. Your contribution of any size represents an important vote of confidence in the mission of our school.

Your contribution touches the lives of all students on both campuses. Our student-faculty ratio, the experience and quality of the educators we hire, our painstakingly maintained and improved facilities — all these are directly impacted by the Leffell School Annual Fund.
