The Mead Fund

Your Gift Makes a Difference

The Mead community is connected in our commitment to the school’s vital mission: to inspire and challenge students to achieve deep learning and become independent, creative thinkers.

Your support in The Mead Fund validates that commitment as our school continues to raise the bar higher, setting a standard for progressive education and cultivating learning that lasts well beyond our students' academic years.

How to Give

The simplest way to give a gift to The Mead School is by: 

  • credit card or direct debit via the secure green giving button link on this page
  • cash or check forwarded to the school's business office (made payable to The Mead School)

    All gifts to The Mead Fund are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Your gift is put to meaningful use:

  • Providing financial aid for qualified students
  • Providing competitive faculty salaries and benefits to attract and retain the best faculty possible
  • Updating existing technology for the computer and math labs
  • Equipping our classrooms, labs and library with state-of-the-art educational tools
  • Enhancing the expressive and performing arts programs

Unrestricted gifts allow us the most flexibility to use funds where the need is greatest, but you can also choose to assign your gift to any of our Academic or Expressive Arts departments, Technology or other particular area of importance to you.

This is Mead

students, teachers, and parents speak about Mead in their own words.
