The Annual Fund is a vital cornerstone of philanthropy at Hillbrook School. Each year, the actual cost of a Hillbrook education exceeds tuition. The Annual Fund provides 10% of our school operating costs, making the difference between a good school and a great one - a place where all students can grow, learn and thrive.
By saying YES to the Annual Fund, you are not merely contributing a financial gift; you are part of Hillbrook’s extraordinary legacy. You are not just supporting our mission—you are embodying it. Each YES affirms our school’s vision and mission. Each YES makes a better world possible.

The Annual Fund benefits every child, every day at Hillbrook School. It provides unrestricted income for programs that are critical to a Hillbrook education, as tuition fees do not cover the full cost of educating your student. The Annual Fund is crucial to the health of the school, and enables us to provide a supportive, inclusive learning environment for all our students, where they are challenged academically and supported emotionally.
We are committed to supporting our families, and raising tuition to the actual cost of educating each student would make a Hillbrook education unreachable for some. By managing our costs through support of the Annual Fund, Hillbrook is able to keep our tuition viable for our families, and fulfill our ongoing commitment to attract a  diverse student body.
All Annual Fund donations are tax-deductible, and many donations qualify for employee matching funds. Click "Matching Gifts" below to see if your company participates.
The participation of our community is a testament to your strong commitment to the mission and vision of our extraordinary school. Each gift we receive inspires additional giving, creating a collective and major impact that will benefit every student throughout the year.
The cost to educate a child at Hillbrook this year is over $47,000, yet the highest tuition rate is $40,400. We encourage each family to donate at $5,000/student or above if they are able. However, ALL gifts - no matter the size - collectively make a tremendous impact, and are truly valued.
