Why Give

"To give away money is an easy matter and in any man's power. But to decide to whom to give it and how large and when and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man's power-nor an easy matter."
Aristotle

Every gift to Baylor School makes a major difference-whether the gift is large or small, it signifies your confidence in us as a school worthy of your support. Your confidence is well placed. Your gifts are much appreciated.

There are three ways to make a gift to Baylor: The Annual Fund, which directly supports faculty and students; Capital Gifts, which are larger and generally given over a period of years; and Planned Giving - all of these are explained in greater detail on this website.

It's important for you to know that your giving makes an incredible difference to the students and faculty at Baylor today and at Baylor in the future. Your giving can also make a difference for you in tax benefits, potential retirement security and countless opportunities for recognition. Giving to Baylor is one way to ensure that your gift will always come back to you.

Why I give

"When I attended Baylor I thought I was learning math and English and science. And I did. But it was the habits that I acquired that made all the difference after I graduated. Fifty years later I still ration my time among competing priorities. I still work steadily on projects until they are done. I still work comfortably within a team. I still spend time outdoors each day walking or running or cycling.

"I believe the high school years are the critical ones in establishing a young person's life skills. I want to enable some other youngsters to eventually look back upon these years with the appreciation (and affection) that I do. I can think of no better way than to help underwrite their education at Baylor."
