Invest in Our Future

Through our endowment, we safeguard the school's long-term growth and stability, as well as support the community that makes Bertschi special.


Education is Timeless

Gifts to the endowment are an investment in the future of Bertschi School. When you give, you affirm the timeless value of a Bertschi education. Donations are never spent; they are invested and earn interest for the school in perpetuity.

Endowments continue to give back for as long as the school exists. In 2017, our community successfully reached and surpassed the Believe in Bertschi campaign goal of $5 million. Thank you to all of the generous donors who made this milestone possible.

If you wish to learn more, or want to make a gift to the Bertschi endowment, please contact Director of Institutional Advancement, Rose Bellini.
