Every gift makes an impact at Friends School.
Challenging minds. Nurturing spirits. Honoring individuality.
Your donation to the Friends Fund provides an immediate and meaningful impact to the experience of all students.
Support for Friends Fund comes from current families, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, and friends.
Each year the Friends Fund runs from July 1- June 30. Join our effort this year to ensure that Friends School’s extraordinary faculty, staff and students have all the tools they need to explore, innovate and learn.
On October 28, we invite you to be part of something special. Join us for our inaugural Friends Day of Giving and celebrate the heart of Friends — the people, programs, and experiences that make this school so special. Your gift will help make those moments possible for every student, now and in the future.
If you choose to give $500 or more, there’s an added benefit: you’ll qualify for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit, which returns 50% of your gift back to you in the form of a state tax credit. The illustration below shows how the credit works.
Want to give early? Any gift made between now and October 28 will count toward our inaugural Friends Day of Giving!

Polly T. Donald Enrichment Fund
