As an independent school, Lovett depends on private funding for its existence. No gift is too small. Every gift is significant because it is significant to the donor in intent and it sends a message of support of and a vote of confidence in Lovett. All gifts to Lovett--treasure, time, talents--are greatly appreciated.

The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is Lovett's most critical need for investment--unrestricted gifts to help the school meet annual expenses such as faculty salaries, new programs, upgrades in technology, and financial aid. Tuition covers only 75% of annual costs, and gifts to the Annual Fund help close the gap. Some gifts to the Annual Fund are given as restricted, meaning the gift is earmarked for a specific department or program.

Investing in Lovett's Strategic Plan: Excellence in Learning, Character & Community
Lovett's new strategic plan, Excellence in Learning, Character & Community, gives priority to three projects:

• increasing endowment (specifically for faculty support and development, financial aid, and new program initiatives);
• building a new Middle School (whose roof garden is shown below); and 
• constructing three new athletic fields (baseball, softball, and multipurpose) and their associated facilities. 

Other initiatives, including a community center with visual arts and dining facilities and stadium renovations, would follow these initial projects. These initiatives were drawn from the school's planning efforts--a two-year process that involved 150 trustees, administrators, faculty, students, parents, alumni, and friends--that will serve as the basis for our school's future. The plan calls on Lovett's community to pursue excellence and leadership as it recommits to preparing students for college and for life.
