Check out our 2023-2024 GISC Fund Brochure here.

The 2023-2024 school year is GISC’s 15th anniversary school year, which is affording us an opportunity to both celebrate how far we’ve already come as a nonprofit school and dream big for the future as our journey of growth and transformation continues. In the spirit of supporting this journey we invite you to make a gift to our annual fund, which is now the GISC Fund. As in previous years, gifts made to the GISC Fund will provide critical revenue support for three priority areas of need at our school: Operational Sustainability, Student Enrichment, and Technological Innovation. We invite you to read more in the brochure linked above about each of these three priority areas and how your investment impacts the day-to-day experience of our students.

We welcome tax-deductible donations from anyone who wishes to support the GISC Fund. All donors to the GISC Fund will be recognized in GISC’s 2023-2024 Annual Report.
