Each year, our Day of Giving is a special day where we ask the entire Derryfield community-parents, students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends-to connect, engage, and give back to our school and community. Money raised through this campaign goes directly to supporting The Derryfield Fund, which helps to provide crucial funding to our school.
This year, we have set our goal higher than ever before! We are aiming to have 500 donors participate in our Day of Giving! A gift of ANY size will count, and we know with your help & support, we will get there.
As the day draws closer, keep your eye out for ways to give, challenges, incentives & this year’s video!
WE DID IT! A Record-Breaking Day of Giving! The rain didn't stop the joy happening on campus yesterday. Our student and parent volunteers were out in full force, and the results are historic: 512 Donors $225,322 Raised

- 512 donors unlocked $36,000
THANK YOU. Your generosity goes to work immediately, strengthening every corner of the DS experience—from innovative programs to faculty excellence. Thank you for making this historic day possible!

Let's go, Derryfield!
Keep the momentum going! Help us reach our goal of 500 donors to The Derryfield Fund and unlock $30,000 $36,000 in challenge funds to support Derryfield students and programs.
You have an incredible opportunity to double the impact of your support for our students and teachers. Be one of the next 129 donors and help us unlock $30,000 $36,000 for The Derryfield Fund.
Here are the many ways your support of The Derryfield Fund makes an impact:
- It is a source of financial aid that is put to use immediately
- It helps attract and retain the most talented faculty
- It helps maintain our spaces where students learn
- And it brings Cougar pride to life!
The Derryfield Fund is the essential bridge between tuition and the true cost of a DS education. Because tuition only covers a portion of what we provide, we rely on your generosity to close the $2,500 gap for every student. Your gift ensures the full, exceptional DS experience for all.
If you have already made a gift - thank you! We hope you consider sharing the campaign with your friends and family in the DS community.
We can't do it without you!
