The Fund for RE
Leadership Giving
The 1903 Society recognizes the generous circle of leadership donors whose philanthropic support elevates the school year after year. Leadership gifts to The Fund for Ransom Everglades empower RE to respond to a broad variety of needs that arise annually. Such gifts provide foundational support for programs that attract and keep the
nation's best faculty; a financial aid program that enhances and diversifies our student body; and other benefits that elevate our students' educational experience and touch the greater community.
The Fund for RE is the first priority of REinventing Excellence: The Campaign for Ransom Everglades. While it will take a number of years to reach the capital and endowment goals of the campaign, gifts to The Fund for RE are put to work immediately. Our goal is to ensure that the school continues to provide the programs and resources that create the margin of excellence that characterizes a Ransom Everglades education. The power of thousands of RE parents, alumni and friends joining their gifts together helps us move forward quickly and with great benefit for our current and future students.
These are exciting times at the school, and 1903 Society gifts are critical to helping us sustain this momentum. Your leadership commitment fosters a strong culture of philanthropy at RE and reinforces the value of a Ransom Everglades education. Most
importantly, it supports the people and programs that make the Ransom Everglades experience unique.
Your support today will change lives into the future.
