Beaver’s P+E program allows for participation on many levels as a volunteer, an Annual Fund donor, or more. The P+E team aims to connect parent and alumni volunteers and donors in authentic ways, providing experiences that give you a deeper understanding of Beaver today by working with students in the classroom as mentors or experts, and offering personal conversations about your support.
In recent years we are proud that:
- In 2019, Beaver closed its largest capital campaign in history: a $25M campaign to create the centerpiece of our campus: the three-story Research + Design Center for students in grades 6-12.
- Our Annual Fund has more than doubled in the last 10 years, reaching $2M in 2020. We believe that our supporters give to this important effort because it represents a value-add to the BVR student experience.
- Our alumni contribute nearly 20 percent of what Beaver raises each year. Beaver would not be Beaver without this support, and our alumni participation sends a powerful message to our community.
- We are celebrating 100 years as a school through BVR100, which includes our first endowment fundraising efforts to support financial aid and our unique academic program.
Beaver is as strong now as it has been at any time since its founding in 1920, and we are always looking to engage with you.
Our P+E team’s role is to keep you informed of what’s happening at Beaver and what we have planned for the future. Questions? Contact a member of the Philanthropy + Engagement team.
