Ways to Give
The Inly Fund
Your gift makes Inly possible.
Each year, Inly provides exciting opportunities for children to learn and grow while instilling a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Your gift to the Inly Fund takes this inspiring education to new heights.
Like virtually all independent schools, tuition alone doesn't cover the full cost of an Inly education. Charitable contributions enable the school to bridge the gap between tuition income and operating costs and are essential to the growth and sustainability of our School. To make this unique, high-quality education possible, we rely on the generosity of our entire community—parents, past parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of Inly—to provide a vital 7% of our operating budget.
We are a small community and every contribution has a significant impact on our students and teachers. We count on you, and we appreciate your support.
At Inly, you can see your gift at work.
Each donor has the opportunity to designate a gift to the area of the Inly experience that they find most inspiring, or to where the need is greatest:
Should designated contributions exceed a fund’s budgeted limit, gifts will be reallocated at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

The Inly Inspiration Circle recognizes and honors the loyal alumni, parents, and friends who support Inly consistently over time. Once you establish two consecutive years of annual support for Inly, you will become a member of the Inspiration Circle. All Inspiration Circle members will be recognized in the School’s Gratitude Report published each Fall. A great way to ensure membership to the Inspiration Circle is to consider a recurring gift (where your credit card is charged monthly or annually).
