2024-2025 Burroughs Annual Fund Campaign

At Burroughs’ opening assembly in August,  student body president Charlie Desai ’25 declared the 2024-25 school year the “Year of Kindness”. She shared how small acts of kindness in the dining room inspired her to spread that same positivity, reminding us all that even the smallest gestures—thoughtful words or kind actions—can brighten someone's day.

Charlie’s message reminds us of the incredible generosity of our Burroughs community. Like kindness, giving has a powerful ripple effect. Every gift sparks positive outcomes for all our students and faculty. These ripples enhance the Burroughs experience and empower our students to become changemakers—here and beyond. 

While tuition is vital, it doesn’t cover the full cost of a Burroughs education. That’s where the Annual Fund comes in, providing more than 10% of the school's operating budget—about $4,800 per student this year. This crucial support allows us to:

● attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff
● support the programs that make Burroughs stand out
● maintain our beautiful campus
● enhance financial aid to foster a student body that is diverse in every way—demographically, socially, and economically

Your participation matters.

The Burroughs Annual Fund is our fundraising priority every year. Between July 1, 2024, to June 20, 2025, our goal is to raise $3.1 million goal for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Your participation in reaching this goal is vital, and gifts of all sizes add up to make an even greater impact. We are truly grateful for the collective generosity of our Burroughs community—alumni, families, and friends— for being partners in advancing the Burroughs experience for current and future students. 

To continue growing the Annual Fund, we depend on continued support from past donors along with new commitments each year. Give what you can, knowing the "ripple" you start today will make a meaningful difference for years to come!
