The GMS Fund
The GMS Fund empowers our school to live and breathe our mission in all that we do. This funding enables GMS to be nimble and innovative in creating magical experiences and meeting the needs of all of our students every day.
Because GMS is an independent school and we do not receive public funding, we rely on the generosity of our families, trustees, grandparents, alums and their families, faculty, and friends of GMS to bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating every GMS student.
This year, our goals are to raise $720,000 and achieve 100% family participation.
