The SBS Annual Fund

Students need your support as they push themselves to learn and grow. The Annual Fund at SBS is the primary way for alumnae, families, and friends to donate. Donors to the Annual Fund contribute a portion of the annual operating budget, including financial aid. Tuition alone cannot cover the full cost of a Stoneleigh-Burnham education. Annual Fund gifts from donors like you ensure all students have a valuable educational experience. Make a gift to the Annual Fund: Click here.  

 

Ride the WAV Campaign

A Weekend Activity Vehicle (WAV) isn’t a luxury; it’s the engine that drives every opportunity at Stoneleigh-Burnham. 

While the name suggests weekend fun—transporting our boarding students to local programs and social activities—this vehicle actually runs seven days a week, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience.

By donating to our “Ride the WAV” campaign today through April 1st, you are ensuring that every SBS student can safely access these vital activities. Help us reach our $100,000 goal to pay off the loan on our newest WAV and help cover annual expenses. Become a fundraiser and/or make your gift today. 

Your gift is an investment in the mobility, confidence, and comprehensive education of every girl on campus. Make a gift to the Ride the WAV Campaign: Click here.

Sayles Society | Planned Giving

Since the founding of Stoneleigh-Burnham, individuals dedicated to our long-term success have set up planned gifts for our benefit. Some donors included us as a beneficiary of their will, retirement plan (401(k), 403(b), IRA, etc.) or life insurance policy while others added to our endowment to continue their annual support after they were gone. Each of these individuals believed in our mission and wanted to be sure we could continue to thrive and grow into the future. For this special group, and with the generous support of the Sayles family, we created The Patricia Blake Sayles ’51 SPH and Thomas D. Sayles, Jr. Planned Giving Society. The Sayles Planned Giving Society is open to all individuals who have named us in their long-term plans or created an endowment for our benefit. Complete the Sayles Society membership form.
