Partner with Us
At Park Street School and Park Street Kids, we are committed to providing an education of excellence. We strive to provide a foundational experience for our students – nurturing the development of men and women of character, imparting a body of knowledge for students to enter the world culturally literate, able to express themselves in a broad range of contexts, and invest generously in their communities and neighborhoods.
Your gifts of time, energy and funds help to support this high-quality education and provide opportunities for children with financial needs. Thank you for your continuing involvement and tremendous generosity toward our school! Through your gift to the Annual Fund, we are able to support the following vital areas:
- Providing financial aid for qualified students
- Making available competitive compensation and professional development to attract and retain the most talented and skilled teachers and staff
- Bridging the gap between what tuition revenue covers and the actual cost of educating a Park Street School and Park Street Kids student
- Ensuring a socio-economic, geographically-diverse student body
- Maintaining our historic, state-of-the-art facilities
- Furnishing curriculum materials and additional resources
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is an opportunity for you and your family to invest in providing a quality education and foundational experience for each child who walks through the doors at Park Street School and Park Street Kids. We would not be the school we are without the extraordinary generosity and gracious support of our families, neighbors, staff and friends who have given – often sacrificially – toward this goal.
Every gift of every size is vital. Participation does matter. We are so grateful for each person who participates in the Annual Fund because it reflects the commitment of our friends, families, faculty and staff to our school. Many individual donors, as well as foundations and corporations, look for a high participation rate from the school’s community when considering their own financial support.
Each year, Park Street School and Park Street Kids seeks unrestricted support through the Annual Fund from all of its contributors. Join us this next year by giving a gift to the Annual Fund and provide Boston’s children with a high-quality education.

Capital Campaign
If you have enjoyed even a few moments in our Brimmer Street facility, it is thanks to the extraordinary generosity of members of our Park Street School and Park Street Kids community, who – over the past few years – have given more than $10 million to help pay for our Brimmer Street facility. In 2003, the Park Street Kids, Inc. Board of Directors purchased 67 Brimmer Street for an elementary school program, securing a loan for the building purchase and renovation. The 2007-2008 school year is an opportunity for all members of our community to participate in this, the final year of the “Building the School Next Door” capital campaign. Throughout the school year, there will be opportunities to hear about how you and your family can invest in our Capital Campaign through Annual Fund and Capital Campaign-related events. We invite you to consider giving above and beyond this next year and investing in the Capital Campaign, securing our foundation for the future and providing for our future students.
