The Far Brook Fund
Supporting every student, every teacher, every day
Since 1948, Far Brook has nurtured generations of inquisitive minds, fostering a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom. None of this would be possible without our community’s generous support of The Far Brook Fund.
Far Brook, like many other independent schools, must raise funds each year to help meet operation costs through an annual giving fund, known at our school as The Far Brook Fund. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of an independent school education, and unlike tuition, gifts to The Far Brook Fund are considered fully tax-deductible charitable donations. The Far Brook Fund supports everything we love about our School including student programs, capstone experiences, faculty development, tuition assistance, and so much more.
