The ECS Annual Fund
The ECS Annual Fund bridges opportunities for students and faculty to have experiential learning experiences, expand access to the outdoors, and develop an ecological mindset that illuminates the connections between sustainability and social justice.
The Growing Up Fund
Happy Birthday, ECS! To commemorate ECS’s 15th birthday, The Growing Up Fund is our long-term investment for enhancements to campus facilities and the development of an endowment to improve facilities in the face of climate change and air quality challenges facing the region. An investment in the Growing Up Fund solidifies the commitment to “greening” urban facilities and minimizing the carbon footprint of the district.
Senior Class Fund for Professional Transformation
June 2024 marks the inaugural graduating class of seniors at ECS! In honor of our first graduating class, families, and friends of graduating seniors are encouraged to make a senior class gift in honor of our faculty and staff to the Senior Class Fund for Professional Transformation. This fund will grow to provide learning and growing opportunities to the passionate and dedicated adults who grew ECS students from Kindergarten to graduation!
