The Gregory School

The Gregory School is deeply grateful for the generosity of those who support the school's students, programs, faculty, and staff. There are few causes more worthy than investing in our children and their education. Philanthropy makes possible the best educational experience for our students now and into the future.

TGS Annual Fund

Tuition covers only a portion of the cost of a Gregory School Education. Donors to The Gregory School annual fund help pick up where tuition leaves off, providing our students with the facilities, materials and equipment, community connections, athletics, and travel they need to solve real problems, build collaborations, pursue passions, and actively experience their own education.

For more information, please see the Annual Fund FAQ's, below.

Please do not use this Annual Fund button to participate in the Tax Credit. Please see the Tax Credit page.

Annual Fund FAQ

I pay tuition. Why am I also being asked to donate to the annual fund?

Tuition covers 71% of a Gregory School education. This is a statistic common to nearly every independent school in the U.S. The annual fund is critical in bridging the gap between tuition revenue and the exceptional education Gregory School students receive.
How do I give?

You can donate online or by check. Please make checks payable to The Gregory School and mail them to The Gregory School, ATTN: Annual Fund, 3231 N Craycroft Rd. Tucson, AZ 85712.
What does the money raised by the annual fund pay for?

Donors to the annual fund support programmatic improvements, faculty salaries, travel for competitions and field trips, robotics supplies, referees, utilities, Fab Lab supplies and equipment, Farmyard improvements, art supplies, guest speakers, campus facility repairs, and much more.
How much should I give?

We hope that every family will choose to make a gift that is meaningful to them. Every gift of any amount has impact for our students, for our teachers, and for the health of our school. The percentage of family and alumni support is a major indicator of school climate and vitality as seen by prospective donors, foundations, faculty, staff, and families.
Who contributes to the annual fund?

Donors to The Gregory School annual fund include current and past parents, grandparents and other family members; faculty, staff, and trustees; alumni, friends, and community members; businesses and corporations.
Is this donation tax deductible?

The Gregory School is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record if you give online. If you donate by check or cash, we'll mail your receipt to you.
I directed my Arizona State Tax Credit to TGS. Is this the same as the annual fund?

While The Gregory School appreciates both tax credit designations and gifts to the annual fund, they are not the same. The Arizona State Tax Credit is not a donation: It lets you direct your Arizona tax liability—funds that you pay anyway—to scholarships for low-income students to attend TGS. Donations to the annual fund are tax-deductible gifts that help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the full costs of a TGS education, including programs, facilities, materials, travel, and more.
How else can I help?

If you pay taxes in Arizona, you can help fund student scholarships by taking the dollar-for-dollar Arizona State Tax Credit through the Arizona Independent Schools Scholarship Foundation (AISSF). This program is completely separate from the annual fund.

Many of our programs benefit from generous in-kind donations. For example, our photography darkroom is made up in large part from donated equipment. If you are interested in making an in-kind donation, please contact advancement@gregoryschool.org. In-kind donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt once we receive your gift.
