Support Hamlin

Campaigns and Endowment

Campaigns are large-scale, special fundraising initiatives for specific and targeted projects. Campaigns provide the additional financial resources necessary for major enhancements to the School, and are therefore frequently transformative in nature. Each campaign serves to sustain and improve Hamlin and the experience it provides for our girls.

What To Expect:

  • Campaigns generally last approximately three to five years
  • Parents are typically asked to participate in two to three campaigns during their daughter’s nine years at Hamlin

FAQ

Q.

What is the difference between the Annual Fund and a campaign?

A.

Annual Fund dollars are the bedrock of Hamlin’s fundraising initiatives and offer direct support to the operating budget. Campaign dollars are solicited for a specific purpose such as campus renewal, land acquisition, or endowment. Due to the length and scope of campaigns, they usually have a higher monetary goal than the Annual Fund.

Q.

Is Hamlin currently in a campaign?

A.

Hamlin recently completed a campaign called Ensuring Excellence Hamlin Girls on June 30, 2011. Its focal points were: People, Place, and Program. The campaign supported endowment and campus expansion and renewal.

The most tangible outcomes of the Ensuring Excellence Campaign were the additions of the Lions' Lair, the Head's House on Vallejo Street, and the Science and Movement Labs.
