Make a Gift
Since our founding in 1944, Episcopal Day School has been significantly strengthened by philanthropic support from its alumni, parents, and friends. This support allows the school to confidently plan for the future while providing current students with a unique, challenging, and enriching experience. With your help, EDS can continue to inspire and influence today’s students and generations to come.
There are a number of ways to give, please see below for additional information.
Where to Give
The EDS Annual Fund is essential to our school’s success and the success of our students. At its most basic level, it provides additional financial resources to supplement, support and ignite key initiatives throughout the school.
Why should we give?
Your gift is a vote of confidence in our school. The Annual Fund is essential to the operation and strength of EDS, and your participation directly affects our ability to solicit and secure gifts from grants and foundations.
How much should we give?
Giving levels are personal decisions for each family – but rest assured your gift to EDS is an investment with enormous returns for our students and faculty!
Gifts of $5,000 and above designate donors as part of the Head of School’s Circle
Gifts of $1,000 and above are considered leadership gifts and designate donors as part of the 1944 Society
EVERY gift makes a difference, and we hope you will make the EDS Annual Fund a philanthropic priority

In 2008, Georgia’s elected officials had the remarkable vision to pass the Education Expense Credit law to allow Georgia families access to better educational opportunities for their children. Episcopal Day School families and supporters have participated in the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program since its inception, providing financial assistance to families who continue to enrich our student population.

Family and friends of our EDS students are invited to celebrate their birthdays by gifting a book to the EDS Library Fund through Birthday Book Club. The library has a curated selection of award-winning books from which to choose for $25. A bookplate with your child’s name will be mounted in their honor to forever commemorate your contribution and your student’s special day. Gifts to the EDS Library Fund help the school continually update and develop its permanent collection of literature, reference books, materials, and technology.
Episcopal Day School has 19 established endowments that support a wide variety of programs and specific needs within our school community. Gifts can be made to support a specific existing endowment, or donors may choose to establish a new, separately tracked endowment to support a specific program or need. The threshold for establishing a new, named endowment is $25,000. For more information on endowment gifts or identifying an area to support, please contact Ginger Chew, Director of Development.
Gifts in honor or in memory of an individual may be made to any of the EDS Endowments or the EDS Annual Fund. When a tribute gift is made, the honoree or their family is notified (no amount is given to the honoree).
