The value of a Friends Select education is incalculable. The actual cost of educating a child, however, is indeed measurable and escalating quickly. Tuition provides 80 percent of the school's operating revenue. To fill the gap, Friends Select relies on income from the endowment and on contributions from the extended Friends Select community.

Many alumni/ae, families and friends have made contributions to the Annual Fund a philanthropic tradition. These gifts from members of the Friends Select family weave a strong fabric of financial support -- providing the school's leadership with the financial flexibility to respond to emerging needs.

There are many ways to support Friends Select that will also provide tax savings. If you have questions regarding giving, contact Chris Jefferson in the development and alumni/ae relations office, 215.561.5900 ext. 141 or chrisj@friends-select.org.
