Falcon Fund
Like other independent schools, Fuqua School relies on the tradition of philanthropy to help us fulfill our mission of creating a safe and supportive learning environment which fosters the development of boundless individual potential. Tuition only covers a percentage of the income required to educate a student at Fuqua School. We rely on donations and other non-tuition revenue to fund the remainder of our program. In fact, we all benefit from the generosity of those that came before us. Through donations, our programs are strengthened and our faculty are provided with the tools needed to help our students reach their individual potential both inside and outside of the classroom.
Every tax-deductible gift helps Fuqua School and sends a powerful message that you believe we make a real difference in the lives of our children. We ask that you become involved and invest in Fuqua School by making a gift in support of our students. Your commitment, at any level, helps to make a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for your support so we can continue our mission.
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is an independent nonprofit and a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Please support Fuqua School by making a donation to the Annual Fund "Giving Tuesday Challenge" by Giving Tuesday, December 3. Our goal is to raise $40,000 during the month of November, which will be matched by the REF Board of Trustees. Your generous gift will directly impact our students' educational experience and help us achieve our goals of academic excellence, character development, and community engagement.
Areas of Support
There are several major areas of support:
Annual Giving
Unrestricted gifts are among the most valuable to Fuqua School, because they allow us to allocate funds wherever the need is greatest, as well as to take advantage of unique opportunities as they arise.
Capital Campaign
Capital gifts support campus improvements, technology, and more with funds being raised for a specific period of time.
Planned Giving
Donors can maximize their gifts through bequests, life-income arrangements, gifts of real estate, personal property, and other forms of giving.
Special Events
Events designed to be “fun-raising” by bringing our greater community together to raise significant funds to support School programs.
Gifts-in-Kind
Gifts-in Kind are non-monetary contributions, including goods and services.

Falcon Fund donations support the day-to-day work of our faculty and staff by bridging the gap between tuition revenue and actual operating costs. The designated donations focus on that particular area.
"We rely on the generosity of our community to make up the difference between the cost of educating a Fuqua student and the tuition we charge. The generosity of our school community allows us to continue to advance the mission of the school and continually enhance student experiences and programs. We are grateful for the many parents, alumni, grandparents, past parents, and friends who support Fuqua School annually. Thank you!"
