Make a SENIOR PARENT GIFT
Goal: $75,000 and 100% participation on or before GiveKing Tuesday, December 2
Teachers, coaches, and mentors believe in our students – your children. They challenge them to dream big and support them as they discover all that is possible.
To honor your student’s years at King, we ask families in the Class of 2026 to invest in the continued education and professional development of our faculty. In doing so, you ensure they have the tools, training, and inspiration to continue making a difference in every student’s life.
An investment in our teachers is an investment in the lives they shape every day.
What we ask of you:
- We ask every family to contribute to King’s Annual Fund.
- We ask every Class of 2026 family to make an additional contribution to the Senior Parent Gift.
Here’s how it works:
| Last Year's Gift | This Year's gift | Annual Fund Gift | Senior Parent Gift |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 | $100 | $50 | $50 |
| $500 | $500 | $500 | $0 |
| $5,000 | $7,500 | $5,000 | $2,500 |
| $15,000 | $20,000 | $15,000 | $5,000 |
Make your gift in honor of the teacher, coach, or mentor who has made a difference in your student’s experience at King.
This year, our goal is $75,000. The Class of 2025 exceeded its goal, and we have full confidence the Class of 2026 will show up for King.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to powering our faculty's pursuit of excellence in teaching.
FAQ's
| Is giving to the Senior Parent Gift optional? |
|---|
|
Every senior family is invited to participate, and we hope you’ll join us in honoring the incredible work of our faculty. Your support makes a difference. |
| Can I designate my gift exclusively to the Senior Parent Gift? |
|
The Annual Fund and Senior Parent Gift go hand in hand. Your Annual Fund gift keeps King strong, and any increase you make this year automatically supports the Senior Parent Gift, celebrating the Class of 2026. While you can support one or the other, we hope that you will support both.

| How does my gift make a difference? |
|
Tuition covers a lot, but not everything that makes King special. Your gift helps bridge that gap by supporting faculty development and the programs that bring learning to life. It’s an investment in the people and experiences that make King extraordinary for every student.
|
| How and when will the teacher, coach, or mentor be notified of my gift made in their honor? |
|
When you make a gift in honor of a teacher, coach, or mentor, a Development team member will share the good news with them before graduation day. They’ll know a gift was made in their honor, though the amount will remain private. |
