Your Support
The partnerships we strive to build within our community take many forms, and we are indebted to the many donors and volunteers who support the school with their time and resources year after year.
If you are able to support Parkside financially, these are just some of the ways you can do so.
Ways to Give
GIFTS OF CASH
Personal checks and credit card payments are two of the most popular ways to make a gift to The Parkside School. To give by check, simply mail your check payable to:
The Parkside School
c/o Advancement Office
48 West 74th Street
New York, NY 10023

GIFTS OF SECURITIES
Gifts of securities provide very attractive tax advantages. Capital gains taxes are avoided and the full market value of the stock can be tax-deductible. If you are interested in making a gift of stock and would like to receive instructions on transferring securities, contact Anthony Kapp.
CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS
Matching gifts are a great way to significantly increase your level of support to Parkside. Many corporations will match employees’ gifts or their spouses’ gifts to their schools. For example, if you donate $5,000 to The Parkside School, your employer may be willing to match your generosity and you will be credited with a $10,000 gift to the Annual Fund. Contact your human resources department to learn about your company’s matching gift policies and procedures. Contact Anthony Kapp, Director of Advancement, if you need assistance with forms or need specific information to provide to your employer.
VENMO
Parkside is now on Venmo and can be found by searching @TheParksideSchool. We encourage alumni students and donors wishing to make small donations to the Annual Fund to make use of this payment method, but ask that our leadership donors continue to use our other giving methods.
META (Facebook and Instagram)
Facebook and Instagram fundraisers are a great way to engage your network of friends and family in support of Parkside. To create a Facebook fundraiser in support of Parkside - in honor of your birthday, a special occassion, or just because - click here and follow the prompts to "Raise Money" which will allow you to search your favorite non-profits and choose The Parkside School as the beneficiary of your fundraiser. You may also make a direct contribution to Parkside using the Donate button in the upper right side of our profile page.
Other Giving
From time to time, there may be other ways you will be asked to support the school aside from the Annual Fund, Spring Benefit and Parents Association. Such efforts often represent a transformative moment for Parkside and are opportunities for us to come together to reaffirm our mission and long-term goals for the school.
In some years, Parkside hosts a Gala to raise funds in support of a specific effort at the school. Our 30th Anniversary Gala raised funds in support of the first phase of our Rooftop Playground project. Past galas have supported the endowment, the Fund for Teacher Excellence, or the Renovation and Restoration Campaign, and have featured entertainers like Bette Midler, Robin Williams, Donna Summer, Billy Crystal, Paul Simon, John Legend, Joy Behar and Tracy Morgan.
