Join Drew’s Boldest Initiative Yet!

Introducing Drew CARES, a revolutionary schoolwide funding model and year-long, collective community giving campaign designed to eliminate direct costs for student participation in school activities. 

Our annual campaign has invested over $350,000 since 2020 to help bridge the gap between public funding and the cost of providing the unique and engaging opportunities that make Drew an incredible educational continuum for our students, staff, and families. This work has shown us it's possible to make a much bigger impact. That's why, beginning this school year, we're raising the bar on what it means to belong.

Rather than collecting fees from families for each club, trip, or sport, Drew now relies on community donations through personal giving, event fundraising, payroll deductions, and corporate support.

Your donations help fund the full Drew experience for all students …from enrichment programs to athletics, college tours to field trips, class dues to school dances, students get to participate regardless of financial background. Drew CARES covers student activity fees and also includes emergency family support, parent-volunteer background checks, classroom supplies and uniform polos, and the Drew PTA.

Every donation is valued and appreciated. We want all families to get involved and give back in the way that works best for you. Consider what you would have paid in student activity fees* this year – the trips, tours, clubs, sports, arts, performances, and so much more that give your student that full Drew experience. We hope you’ll give that amount if you’re able! Drew CARES turns this “savings” into your tax deductible donation. 

You can donate an annual amount today, contribute several times throughout the year, or begin a recurring monthly donation. You may also want to donate as much as you wish on behalf of other students! We encourage you to give what you’re able, when you’re able. All gifts, no matter the size, make a difference and are appreciated. 

Help us directly support all students and keep the program going and growing by making a tax-deductible donation today!

*It costs around $400 per year on average to support one Drew student’s activities. This varies widely depending on your student’s grade level and selected activities.
