Annual Fund

The spirit of the Choate Rosemary Hall community remains strong, and we are deeply grateful for your support of our students and faculty. 

Make a Gift

Gifts to the Annual Fund provide critical resources to bolster financial aid, faculty resources and development, academic programs, student activities, arts, and athletics.

Tuition does not cover the full cost to educate Choate students; the Annual Fund provides 11% of our operating budget each year. Those unrestricted, current-use funds give the School the flexibility it needs to address its most pressing issues.

Your gift means more than just dollars and cents. Your gift—at any level—signifies your belief in the transformative power of a Choate education.

In the Annual Fund, there is strength in numbers. Last year, gifts of $250 or less added up to more than $250,000. In other words, your gift adds up to a big impact at School.
