Gifts to the Annual Fund account for 8 percent of the operating budget and help to close the gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate a Fenn boy. They also touch nearly every aspect of life at Fenn, from providing need-based financial aid for our students to supporting salaries for our talented and dedicated teachers.

On behalf of all of us at Fenn, we send our heartfelt thanks to all of our 2018-2019 Annual Fund donors. Almost 1,400 donors—including trustees, current parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, and faculty and staff—supported Fenn and allowed us to reach our goal of $1,300,000.

The 2019-2020 Annual Fund effort is off to a strong start. Thank you to those who've already made their gift towards this year's $1,325,000 goal. We are grateful for every donor and every gift. This wonderful show of support is deeply appreciated and makes a tangible difference in the lives of boys.
