Every gift to St. Paul’s School contributes to our mission of educating students to build purposeful lives in service to the greater good. We honor and thank donors for their commitment to our School community through four recognition societies: The Shattuck Society, The 1856 Society, The Sheldon Society and The Hargate Society. Members of each society are recognized in the Annual Report.
The Shattuck Society
The Shattuck Society, named for George Cheyne Shattuck, the School’s founder and first endowed fund donor, honors the generous SPS alumni and families whose lifetime giving exceeds $1 million.
The Sheldon Society
Named for the iconic landmark in the center of campus, The Sheldon Society honors loyal donors whose affection for the School is demonstrated through consecutive giving of five-plus years.
The Hargate Society
Members of the Hargate Society have expressed their commitment by naming St. Paul’s School as a beneficiary of a planned gift. Click here to learn more.
The 1856 Society
The 1856 Society, named in honor of the School’s founding year, recognizes donors who support SPS through annual, unrestricted gifts each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). Collectively, these gifts are a critical source of revenue for the School’s operating budget.
