Thank you for your interest in supporting The Browning School and its mission.
Giving to Browning is an investment that preserves the ideals upon which the School was established in 1888. Our mission is sustained and enhanced by the generosity of our loyal supporters – alumni, current and past parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends – and builds upon the advancements that have followed in pursuit of honesty, curiosity, dignity, and purpose.
Annual Giving
The Annual Fund is the foundation of The Browning School’s fundraising efforts. We strive for full participation from the greater Browning community.
Each year, the Annual Fund provides crucial support to fund the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Browning education. Last year, Annual Fund contributions accounted for 10% of the annual operating budget, providing essential unrestricted operating income.
Your annual support enables the School to maintain its commitment to excellence and has an immediate and powerful impact, allowing Browning’s dedicated teachers to continue to inspire our boys.
We ask all members of the Browning community to contribute to the Annual Fund every year. High donor participation is a testament to how highly valuable a Browning education is to our students, alumni, and families. Every gift makes an impact and is a continued vote of confidence in Browning.

Planned Giving
The John A. Browning Society
Named after The Browning School’s first Headmaster, who served Browning from 1888 to 1920, the John A. Browning Society recognizes and honors those members of the Browning community who have thoughtfully included The Browning School in their estate planning, either through a bequest, charitable trust, retirement plan or insurance policy.
These types of charitable gifts will benefit the School well into the future without impacting current financial security and will likely also provide possible tax benefits.
Gifts by Will and Living Trusts
Charitable gifts through your will are among the easiest ways to make significant future gifts.
How it works:
- You include a bequest provision in your will or revocable trust.
- At your death, The Browning School receives the bequest you specified, which can be a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
Benefits - You may change your bequest or trust designation at any time.
- You control the funding property during your lifetime.
- Your bequest or trust designation may be eligible for a tax deduction by your estate.
- You provide financial resources for the Browning School.
Beneficiary Accounts
Your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or savings and investment accounts are very likely a significant portion of your net worth. Because of special tax considerations, they could make an excellent choice for funding a charitable gift by naming the Browning School as a beneficiary of an account.
How it works:
- You name the Browning School as a beneficiary for part or all of your retirement-plan benefits, life insurance policies, or savings and investment accounts.
- Funds are transferred by the plan administrator at your death.
Benefits - Your bequest or trust designation may be eligible for a tax deduction by your estate.
- You make a significant gift The Browning School.
