Support GMS
Why Your Support to GMS Matters
A GMS education is one-of-a-kind. Our ability to live our mission of educating girls at a crucial time in life is made possible through our annual fundraising efforts. Because of your support, inside and outside of the classroom, GMS can provide each student with the environment and the opportunities to explore new experiences, build their social-emotional and physical skills, and nurture a lifelong curiosity for learning.
Our Annual Initiatives
The GMS Fund
The GMS Fund is our annual giving program, which funds the remaining 10% of our annual operating costs not covered by tuition. It supports our greatest needs across the school, which impacts every student and faculty member and allows GMS to be nimble and innovative in our learning opportunities. Our 2024-25 goals are to raise $650,000 and achieve 100% family participation.
For the second year in a row, we launched The GMS Fund: 90 Days of Giving Campaign. During this time, we hope that every GMS family will make a contribution to The GMS Fund achieving our goal by December 31st, 2024.
Bennett Scholars Program
The Bennett Scholars Program supports high-achieving girls who are from under-resourced communities and often represent the first generation in their families to be college bound. In each grade, GMS provides full three-year scholarships to 10 incredible students. In addition to tuition, GMS provides our Bennett Scholars with laptops, lunches, uniforms, one-on-one tutoring, and the costs of all trips and material expenses. The program’s ultimate goal is to ensure that each girl and her family know that when she leaves GMS, she can determine her own path to whatever future she desires. Our 2024-25 goal is to raise $1.5 million.
