Giving

Together, we help O'Neal bloom.

Thank you for considering a gift to The O'Neal School. Philanthropic support helps create the extraordinary O'Neal experience our students know each day—strengthening the programs, opportunities, faculty, and experiences that help them learn, grow, and thrive.

Tuition covers only a portion of the true cost of an O'Neal education. The generosity of our community helps bridge that gap and gives the School the flexibility to invest in the people and priorities that matter most.

Every gift matters. Every donor matters. Every student benefits. We value participation in our philanthropic community as much as the dollars raised, because every gift—large or small—is a meaningful expression of belief in O'Neal and our students.

There are many ways to support The O'Neal School, from an unrestricted gift to The O'Neal Fund to gifts designated for specific programs, scholarships, or other priorities.

Thank you for your generosity, your involvement, and your commitment to the future of The O'Neal School.
