Endowment

The College Preparatory School's endowment provides long-term support for the school’s operating budget, ensuring that future generations of students will benefit from the excellent education the school offers.

Endowed funds are professionally invested and managed for growth. Up to five percent of the income produced by these funds provides annual support for faculty, financial aid, program, and facilities.

For questions about endowment opportunities, please contact Sara Sackner, Director of Advancement at 510-420-2352 or sara@college-prep.org.
