Annual Fund
Annual Fund
Our Annual Fund is the foundational way we partner with parents, alums, grandparents and past parents. Our community’s generous yearly contributions help us take the Branksome experience from great to exceptional.
Sustained by our community’s generosity, this critical resource empowers students with the best possible educational journey and prepares them for their best possible futures. Your support is essential as Branksome continues to evolve.
What’s the impact? Our grads are prepared for top careers in a future we can’t yet anticipate, sought after by employers and closing the gender divide in financial, innovation and entrepreneurial fields. They’ll be ready to tackle the challenges we face, both today and in the future. Make way as they shatter glass ceilings, take their places as leaders and change the world for the better.

Name a Make Way Stepping Stone
Every great journey begins with the first step. Collectively, our Make Way Stepping Stones will symbolize the path we are paving together, so our students can go forth and blaze their own trails. The Stepping Stones will be a prominent architectural feature in iCAST’s main lobby, reimagining the traditional “donor wall” as an art installation that honours our community of generous iCAST builders. Choose your stone and step into a beautiful legacy that will commemorate your family’s connection with our school.

Transformational Gifts
Branksome is so grateful to our many community members who choose to make transformational gifts to the Make Way campaign. Typically ranging in size from $25,000 to seven figures, gifts of this magnitude can be paid over time, typically between three to five years. Transformational gifts also provide tax advantages. Depending on the level, donors receive additional personalized recognition, including an opportunity to name a space within iCAST, leaving a permanent and meaningful legacy at Branksome.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.
Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
