Campaign Priorities

The Deerfield Fund

$42 Million

For seventy years, annual giving has supported Deerfield students and faculty; bolstered our financial aid program; elevated the arts, athletics, and other cocurricular activities; and created opportunities for thousands of alumni and families—as their means permitted—to participate in advancing Deerfield’s mission.

For approximately 90% of campaign donors, the Deerfield Fund will be their primary area of support, and for that we are grateful. Increasing broad participation and encouraging regular giving at all levels is a priority of this campaign and essential to Deerfield’s long-term financial strength.

Goals

  • To support approximately 10% of Deerfield’s operating budget and alleviate pressure on the Academy’s endowment;

  • To create flexibility to adapt to future challenges and opportunities;
  • To seed pilot programs that may eventually be endowed; and,

  • To continue to enhance every aspect of our academic and residential program.
