Every gift to Walnut Hill makes an impact.
Each gift, no matter the size, makes a difference to our small community. The act of giving signifies your confidence in us as a school and declares us an institution worthy of your support. Your donation is an investment in today's students and those of the future.
Philanthropy helps us contain the tuition costs for every Walnut Hill student; tuition does not cover all that goes into making a Walnut Hill education extraordinary. Your gift helps us provide generous financial aid to over 50% of our student body. Your support allows us to develop new arts programming, enhance our facilities, and recruit and retain talented and dedicated faculty. Your gift enables us to enhance the Walnut Hill experience, and your gift can also make a difference to you in tax benefits and the benefit of seeing your impact.
It takes the entire community to promote our core values of excellence, creativity, community, growth, and respect. Please join us and support Walnut Hill as you are able.
Keeping the Campus Beautiful
Your gift supports the upkeep and improvement of our historic campus.
Helping Students Flourish
Your gift enables students to receive the attention and coaching they need to succeed.
Taking it Off The Hill
