Support Watershed Today!

The Watershed Fund is our annual fund. Like other independent schools, tuition income alone is not enough. Each year, philanthropic support of the Watershed Fund covers approximately 10% of our annual operating expenses. Real-world learning, favorable student:educator ratios, fieldwork, May Term & global travel, personalized college counseling, common good projects- all of the things that make Watershed unique, all of the things that allow our students to flourish now, in college, and beyond- are made possible through Watershed Fund support. Thank you! We are deeply grateful for the many current families, alumni, parents of alumni, and friends of the school who give to the Watershed Fund every year!


Giving Levels

When we work together as a community, one person’s $25 gift, another’s $2,500 gift, and still another’s $25,000 gift combine to have an overwhelming influence on the education of our students. We hope that all community members will give at the level that works for them. All gifts matter: it is by pulling together as a community that we make the magic happen!

Donors at the Creator ($5,000) level and above are recognized as members of the Leadership Circle.  We are deeply grateful for the profound impact gifts from our Leadership Circle members have on the experience of ever student at Watershed.
