The Hammond Endowment
Sustaining Hammond for the Future
A gift to Hammond' s Endowment through your estate plans will provide a permanent means of generating income for future generations. By safely housing your designated funds in the endowment, where on the interest generated is used for expenses, your gift will live on in perpetuity. Endowments operate much like a savings plan for families. Money is placed in a savings account; only the interest generated is used to help operate the household.

- Faculty Excellence.
- Resources for student and families - scholarships, leadership training, and special projects.
- Campus Facilities – maintaining facilities that match the quality of instruction.
- Programs and Student Life – support for the co-curricular programs that help make Hammond so unique.
- Hammond Fund - Head of School's discretionary fund and general unrestricted.
