Gifts can be made to Porter-Gaud with specific designations in mind. You can contribute to ongoing projects the school has made a priority.
Below are some examples of what we are currently raising money for. If you are interested in contributing to these efforts, your gift can be made online.
Meredith Sallee was a beloved member of the Lower School faculty from 2015 to 2020. She brought an abundance of talent, energy, love, and joy to her teaching; she embodied all of the qualities of an excellent educator. Meredith was dedicated to building strong relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. She engendered a love of learning in her students and left an indelible impression on all who knew her and worked alongside her.
In 2021 the Meredith Sallee Memorial Fund was established to ease the financial and emotional burdens faced by families dealing with a parental loss. Through your generous support, this fund provides Porter-Gaud students continued access to the complete PG experience without financial strain. To access the funds, families must demonstrate financial need after losing a parent while attending PG through completing the school’s standard financial aid process. The fund can contribute to all expenses related to the Porter-Gaud experience - tuition, uniforms, school sponsored trips, and athletics participation. The fund would not cover tuition costs beyond the demonstrated need as determined in the financial aid process.
Porter-Gaud is working to create an educational environment where technology enhances the learning process. We are actively raising funds to add better cameras, interactive screens, and better technology into each of our classrooms. Beyond the immediate needs brought on by COVID-19, these technologies will allow for a better distance learning experience, and enhances our ability to extend the classroom far beyond our campus.
Porter-Gaud has been actively raising funds to increase the level of campus security. We have started adding glass partitions to our main offices to protect our front office staff. We look to hire additional security staff. We continue to increase the number of security cameras and keycard access panels, and will continue with our staff security training. These efforts ensure that our students, teachers, staff, and guests are as safe as possible while on campus.
