Giving Tuesday Is November 28, 2023

Giving Tuesday is a national day of philanthropy when non-profits ask supporters to make gifts to their worthy causes by following days of commerce (Black Friday, Small-Business Saturday and Cyber Monday) with a day dedicated to giving.

Kiski successfully joined this non-profit initiative in 2015, and the Kiski community has rallied together each year to surpass the challenges created for that day. In doing so, they have unlocked tens of thousands of dollars in funding for our boys in just 24 hours, each year.

Our 2023 Giving Tuesday goal is to receive gifts from 250 donors during that special day.

Kiski Fund gifts made throughout the year support the annual operating budget. Therefore, Kiski Fund contributions support all facets of the budget and each Kiski Boy’s life-changing experience. Your participation on any level also acts as a vote of confidence in our School that foundations reference when considering their major gifts to Kiski. Over the last decade, foundations have invested nearly $10 million in Kiski.

Please consider all of the positive results your gift can inspire by making a contribution to The Kiski Fund on Giving Tuesday, November 28, 2023. 

FAQs

List of 6 frequently asked questions.

  • What is Giving Tuesday?

    Giving Tuesday follows Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Charitable organizations worldwide encourage their supporters to consider making a contribution on that specific day.
  • How much do I have to give to count?

    A gift of any size will help us toward our goal. Each household can only count once toward the goal.
  • What if I already made my Kiski Fund gift this year?

    While there is no expectation that you make another gift, we would welcome your additional support – in any amount – and can count it toward the Giving Tuesday goal. 
  • What does a gift to the Kiski Fund support?

    Kiski Fund gifts are directly applied to the annual operating budget. These are needs that are already calculated into the academic year, not extras. While The Kiski Fund, therefore, supports the entire Kiski budget and the transformation experience for each Kiski Boy, more specific areas of support include: funding for curriculum enhancement, art supplies, athletic travel and equipment, building and grounds maintenance, financial aid, and student activities.
  • Will my gift be tax deductible?

    Yes. Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
When you give to The Kiski Fund, you’re giving the gift of a life-changing education. Your contribution goes directly toward helping boys and girls succeed. Donors like you help keep our arts programs, athletic opportunities, state-of-the-art technology, and more at the Kiski standard. Thank you for helping to enrich the lives of our students.
