About


The Ellis School is a special place where girls take risks, work collaboratively, ask questions, and pursue their dreams. At Ellis, girls and young women become bold, authentic, and intellectually vibrant changemakers.

Ensuring our students are future-ready requires a continued commitment from our community. The Ellis Fund Parent Drive is an opportunity to work with fellow Ellis parents to make an immediate and positive impact on the incredible students, teachers, programs, and experiences at The Ellis School. Your financial support is important in providing them with a truly enriching experience at Ellis.

Last year, we hit an all-time high with 90% parent participation, demonstrating that we are all in this together. This year, our goal is to aim even higher and hit 100% parent participation.

Any parent gift of $5 or more made to the Ellis Fund between October 20 and October 23 will count towards our overall participation goal. If you have multiple students in different grades, your gift will be counted toward all of them.

It starts with us! Let's lead by example and show the larger Ellis community that Ellis parents are all in for Ellis. Make your gift today and encourage others to do so.

Every gift matters. Your gift matters.


Already made a gift this year? We've got you covered! Donations made on or after July 1, 2022, have been counted towards the 2022-23 Ellis Fund Parent Drive! In addition to this donation, we hope you'll consider becoming an Ellis parent advocate. Click the button above to sign up!
