Endowment + Financial Aid

Our commitment to nurturing curious minds, compassionate hearts, and confident voices is sustained through thoughtful, long-term investment in our mission. Endowment giving provides a powerful way for donors to make a lasting impact that supports small class sizes, exceptional educators, and an inclusive, engaging academic environment for generations to come. Your endowment gift helps ensure ESN students continue to thrive in a community rooted in purpose, possibility, and lifelong learning.

Endowed Financial Aid Gift:

Opening Doors, Guided by Faith

An endowed financial aid gift is a lasting investment in ESN students. Each year, a portion of the fund’s earnings provides need-based tuition assistance, ensuring access to an ESN education for a diverse and talented student body. The principal remains untouched, allowing your gift to support future generations in perpetuity. Your generosity opens doors to opportunity, equity, and lifelong impact.

Named Endowment Funds

A named endowment fund can be established with an initial gift of $25,000 or more. If you're inspired to create a named fund but not yet ready to contribute the full amount, you may open one with a minimum of $5,000. These funds will be invested and will remain untouched until the $25,000 threshold has been met through additional contributions. Once fully funded, the school will begin annual distributions from the fund in the following fiscal year.
