Donor-Directed Giving
At Canterbury, donor generosity plays a critical role in advancing our mission, enhancing student experiences, and securing the future of our school. One of the most impactful ways supporters can make a difference is through Donor-Directed Funds contributions designated for specific purposes that reflect a donor’s passions and priorities.
What Are Donor-Directed Funds?
Donor-directed funds are gifts that come with specific instructions from the donor about how they are to be used. These funds provide essential support while allowing donors to invest in the areas of the school they care about most.
