Prep & SPMA Unite
The purpose of the Advancement Office is to establish and maintain long-term relations with and amongst alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends of the school and to develop partnerships with local businesses and foundations. The office seeks to channel interest into a meaningful expression of support and solicit the funds necessary to provide for the general operations, capital, and endowment needs of the School.
As you know charitable gifts to Hilton Head Preparatory School are vital to the ongoing development of the school and each gift reflects the strong spirit of philanthropy and culture of giving that is evident within our school community. Like other independent schools, Hilton Head Preparatory School depends on the Prep Pride Fund Annual Giving Campaign to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student.
What makes our Prep Pride Fund different from other fundraisers is that the money raised is unrestricted. That means that the money can be used anywhere it is needed and where it will benefit our students the most.
Please visit our pages about the Prep Pride Fund and other ways you can support our school by clicking the tabs on the left hand side of the page.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact Margot Brown, Chief Advancement Officer, at 843-715-8506.

Gifts by Mail

IRA Charitable Distribution (QCD)
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a meaningful gift to Hilton Head Prep directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). A QCD allows you to donate up to $100,000 per year to a qualified charity without counting the distribution as taxable income. For those age 73 and above, a QCD can also fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
This tax-smart giving option is especially beneficial for donors who do not itemize deductions and provides an efficient way to support Prep’s students, faculty, and programs while reducing taxable income. It’s a simple, powerful way to make an impact today.

Margot Brown
, or call 843-715-8506 for transfer instructions or read the

.
Planned Gifts
Bequests, large and small, have been a significant source of support for Hilton Head Prep. A legal disposition by will, which names Hilton Head Prep as the recipient of all or a portion of the donor's estate, not only helps the school, but usually reduces the donor's federal estate taxes, and in most cases state inheritance taxes as well. The donor may specify that the school receive a percentage, an asset, a specific dollar amount or a remainder of his or her estate. Frequently, a donor may set up a charitable arrangement designating the income for life to another person and the principal, ultimately, to Hilton Head Prep.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact
Margot Brown
, Chief Advancement Officer, at 843-715-8506
Sponsor-A-Student Program
Make a Difference in a Student’s Life
Prep’s Sponsor-a-Student Program offers you the opportunity to provide scholarship grants for students who may not have the chance to attend Prep without the help of benefactors like you. We believe it is vital that our school community reflect the diversity found in the real world. We strive to attract diverse students from a true cross section of the Lowcountry and beyond. Our population is ethnically and culturally diverse. We hope you will take the opportunity to invest in the education, transformation, and future of a diverse population of qualified students for academic challenges, successful college experiences, and rewarding lives.
Although our school is tuition driven, we believe that tuition costs should not be a deterrent for attendance. Our goal is to make a Prep education affordable for every family who wishes to be here. Approximately 30% of our students receive need based tuition assistance, and with your help we will be able to offer more students the help that they need. Thank you for your commitment towards this goal!
For more information, please call
Margot Brown
, Director of Development and Finance, at 843-715-8506.
Other Ways to Support Prep
List of 3 items.
Corporate Matching Gifts
A corporate matching gift is a great way for a donor to considerably increase the size of his or her gift. Many companies will match gifts 1:1; some will even triple employee contributions. Matching gifts, for instance, can change a $500 contribution into a Leadership Circle gift of $1,000. Contact your company's Human Resources Department to obtain the necessary forms and instructions and read the list of
select matching gift companies.
Prep Patrons

Capital & Endowment Giving
Capital Giving
Capital gifts, generally to the physical plant differ from annual support, which provides support to the operating budget and thus is expended each year. Instead, capital gifts allow the school the opportunity to look to its long-term future.
In 2008, the school successfully completed a $6.5 million campaign, which resulted in the new Joseph B. Fraser Field House and a significant increase in the endowment.
Endowment Giving
Hilton Head Prep is fortunate to have donors, past and present, who are committed to giving to endowment. Named endowment funds are vital to sustaining the fiscal health of Hilton Head Prep. Named endowment funds are established at a minimum of $50,000 through outright gifts of stock and cash, or through bequests and other estate planning vehicles. Each fund leaves a meaningful legacy to Hilton Head Prep. These funds are typically used to endow scholarships, teaching positions or other programs and expenses as stipulated by the donor. The endowment is managed by hired investment consultants.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact
Margot Brown
, Chief Advancement Officer, at 843-715-8506.

Through this endowment, the Wojcikiewicz family seeks to ensure that financial circumstances do not prevent capable, motivated students from benefiting from a Hilton Head Preparatory School education.
