The Holton Fund
Fueling the mind, soul, and spirit of every Holton girl
The Holton Fund is our School's annual giving program and primary fundraising effort. More than a financial contribution, every gift reflects our shared mission:
Holton-Arms School cultivates the unique potential of young women through the "education that nurtures not only the mind, but also the soul and spirit."
Gifts to The Holton Fund provide vital support for the immediate needs of our students and teachers. Your generosity strengthens every corner of campus and allows us to make choices rather than compromises.
Last year, The Holton Fund contributed $2,800 toward each student's education, directly enriching their Holton experience.
