Ways to Give
Every gift makes a difference.
Philanthropy takes many forms, and there are many ways to support FCDS. Our families have always been generous in giving their time and talents to our community and with that FCDS hopes that 100 percent of our parents will give to the Forsyth Fund.
Unlike tuition, gifts to the Forsyth Fund are tax-deductible and enrich the entire school community. Because tuition does not cover the cost of a Forsyth Country Day School education, we rely on contributions from hundreds of donors each year.
In addition to the Forsyth Fund, parents, grandparents, alumni, local companies, and friends of the school may contribute to the school’s ongoing capital campaign, the endowment, and through estate planning. Charitable giving by parents is essential to the school’s success and stability.
Here are how you can make your gift:
