Make Your Gift Today

Approximately 10% of our operating budget comes from annual gifts, including the Hausner Fund in the fall and the annual Spring Benefit. Gifts from our community ensure that a Hausner education remains accessible to a diverse population of families in our community. In fact, tuition covers approximately 80% of our budget. Annual fundraising, grants, and other sources of income make up the rest of the budget.

Your donation to the Hausner Fund ensures that our school continues to thrive, and supports:

• Need-based financial assistance and scholarships for our students

• Hiring and retaining top-notch faculty and staff

• Supporting teachers’ professional growth
• Cutting-edge classroom technology in every classroom and for each of our students
• Community service programs integrated into each grade’s curriculum
• A Learning Support Team that supports and uplifts students with learning differences inside and outside the classroom
• and so much more...

One of Hausner’s greatest strengths is our community including families, staff, alumni, and students. Widespread support of the school through the Hausner Fund conveys a powerful statement reflecting our belief in and dedication to Hausner's goals and programs—and, again, it is a sign of our strong community. Every gift is a vote of confidence in the school and the high quality Jewish education we deliver to our students. When we achieve 100% participation from our parents and faculty, we send a strong message of ownership and support to major funders. And, all students benefit from a successful Hausner Fund.

Each fall, we launch a campaign to raise support for the Hausner Fund. Our campaign theme is Community is the Heart of Hausner. This fund ensures our school’s financial strength, and supports operating expenses and innovative educational initiatives. Every Spring, the Scholarship Fund campaign raises funds to support scholarships, to help make a Hausner education possible for a larger, diverse range of families in our community.

Yes! Unlike tuition, donations to the Hausner Fund are tax-deductible. Hausner's Tax ID is 77-0245931.
