Welcome!
When you give to Browning, you are investing in our mission to foster growth of courageous and compassionate men of intellect and integrity who aspire to contribute meaningfully to our world.
Our school thrives because of the generosity from our alumni, current and past parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends.
Browning is a boys' school by choice, and we are committed to shaping boys the world needs, every step of the way. Through our intentional focus on relationships as the foundation for learning, our faculty's investment in understanding boys throughout the entire arc of childhood and our research focused on boys' intellectual needs, we have created a unique environment in which boys can succeed. Your gift helps ensure that our work continues for Browning boys today, and for many generations to come.
Report of Annual Giving 2023-2024
Building Our Future
A Comprehensive Campaign to Advance Browning’s Mission
Our transformational $50 million Building Our Future Campaign started in 2019 and will conclude in 2027. The largest campaign in Browning's history, it expands our facilities, programs, faculty, and student body.
The cornerstone of the Campaign is a purpose-built facility for our Upper School located at 337 East 64th Street, which will more than double Browning’s square footage to over 100,000 square feet.
The new facility will allow Browning to increase the size of Grades 6-12 to 45 students, eventually creating a student body of 500 boys. The move of Grades 9-12 to 64th Street will also allow for a more purposeful and developmentally appropriate layout at our 62nd Street schoolhouse.
Annual Fund
The foundational philanthropic effort for The Browning School, it supports the programs and opportunities that Browning boys experience everyday.
Facilities
Supports the new Upper School building at 337 East 64th Street as well as the original schoolhouse at 52 East 62nd Street.
Financial Aid
Supports an inclusive atmosphere which provides the richness of a Browning education to a wider variety of boys.
Programs & People
Supports robust programming tailored to the needs of our boys and the strengths of our faculty.
Most donors will best support the Campaign with a gift to the Annual Fund. Increasing that gift during the Campaign amplifies your impact and helps Browning at a particularly meaningful time in its history.
If you wish to make a Leadership Gift, please contact Francesca Ryan, Acting Director of Advancement. Naming opportunities are still available in a variety of areas.
Annual Giving
The Annual Fund is the foundation of The Browning School’s fundraising efforts and we strive for one hundred percent participation from our community, in support of our boys. During our Building Our Future Campaign, we hope that donors will amplify the impact of their Annual Fund gift by being even more generous than in the past.
The Annual Fund provides about 10% of the annual operating budget and helps to close the gap between the tuition charged and the actual cost of a Browning education.
High donor participation is a testament how meaningful the Browning experience is to our students, alumni and families. Every gift is a continued vote of confidence in Browning, and a commitment to our boys' success beyond the Red Doors.
Thank you for your generous support!
