Our Funds
Annual Fund
Contributions to our Annual Fund are our primary non-tuition source of revenue. Your donation supports our curriculum, campus, financial aid, and staff. Currently, the Annual Fund accounts for around 8% of our total budget, or $125,000, which requires a significant amount of fundraising every year. This fund is essential to our operations and allows our school to be more inclusive: Currently, more than 40% of families receive financial aid, including non-tuition assistance, which includes Special Programs and Maybeck Beyond experiences. Your contribution to the Annual Fund helps ensure that we can maintain terrific programs and generous levels of financial assistance. Many employers offer a matching gift which can double your impact. You can easily check if your employer has a matching program at Charity Navigator.
Stanley Cardinet Memorial Fund
Stan believed in the transformative power of getting students into nature and understanding fully the place in which they live–by volunteering with local organizations and hearing from scholars, activists, and local leaders from the Bay Area and Northern California. This fund would support:
A new Stanley Cardinet Memorial Speaker Series
Professional development that will support current and future Maybeck teachers taking students to explore the natural world
Experiential Learning Outdoors
Jeremy Harrison Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Jeremy Harrison Memorial Scholarship Fund, originally endowed by the family of a former student in his memory, supports the cost of travel and expenses for Special Programs. The Scholarship Fund, made possible by your donations to the school, goes directly to Maybeck students who are on reduced tuition. Your contribution helps our students to see the world during Special Programs.
Students Helping Students Award
In keeping with our philosophy of education, one junior each year is nominated by peers and selected by staff to receive the Students Helping Students Award. This award is given annually to the student who best exemplifies the Maybeck spirit of curiosity, cooperation, empathy, engagement, and compassion. Your contribution allows us to recognize these outstanding students’ contributions to the Maybeck community.
