Naming Opportunities
A capital gift is an opportunity to help elevate the learning environment for current and future Chargers. There is an array of opportunities for your gift to be permanently recognized on campus through a naming opportunity. Many donors choose to honor or memorialize a family member, friend, or teacher through the naming of buildings and spaces. Shorecrest is pleased to offer Naming Opportunities to dedicate a room, area, or facility on the campus.
Donors will be recognized on plaques in one of the following ways:
- Generously donated by the -DONOR NAME- Family
- Generously donated in honor of -NAME-
Please note: Donor name will not be recognized with the second option.
Endowments
Endowed gifts become a permanent part of the School’s legacy, securing Shorecrest’s financial health in perpetuity. Unlike annual contributions to the Shorecrest Fund, the principal amount of an endowed gift remains untouched while the investment income may be used for strategic priorities within the School.
Areas Of Focus:
An endowed fund that covers increasing needs-based financial aid assistance while keeping the cost of tuition as affordable as possible.
Endowed funds to recruit and retain superb teachers. Having these funds available also helps Shorecrest provide a wide range of professional development opportunities to our faculty and staff.
Types of Endowments
Centennial Level Gifts of $25,000 or more to the School’s endowment without a specific designation provide a lasting investment that yields an annual distribution for our programs.
Gifts up to $299,999 can be added to one of the established funds providing investment and an annual distribution toward that fund's designated intention.
Gifts of $300,000 or more provide the opportunity to establish a new, named endowment fund with a goal to grow the fund to $600,000 or more allowing the School to maximize the investment income in alignment with donor intentions.
An endowed fund of $600,000 or more provides in perpetuity support of one full, four-year, need-based scholarship for a deserving student, through the fund’s earnings. For this reason, it is our strategic goal to increase the principal amount of the School’s established funds.
An endowed gift of $1,000,000 or more provides budget-replacing support for faculty salaries and benefits through the fund’s earnings. For this reason, it is our strategic goal to increase the principal amount of the School’s established funds that support our dedicated faculty.
An endowed gift of $1,000,000 or more supports the opportunity for budget-replacing campus improvement through the fund’s earnings. For this reason, it is our strategic goal to increase the principal amount of the School’s established funds that constantly improve our current infrastructure.
