The Peddie Fund
Since 1944, The Peddie Fund has remained the cornerstone of our school’s philanthropic efforts. It is a crucial lifeline, bolstering various facets of the Peddie experience, from faculty and staff support to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and enhancing academics, athletics, arts and community engagement. This vital resource enables Peddie to adapt swiftly to the evolving needs of our students and the world around us, ensuring they receive unparalleled opportunities inside and outside the classroom.
Did you know that tuition alone doesn’t cover the cost of educating our students? When factoring in all elements contributing to a Peddie education, the annual expenses surpass the average total tuition by almost $14,000 per student.
The Peddie Fund is our highest priority because it is put to immediate use to support the Peddie experience and helps to fund the difference between tuition revenue and the actual cost to educate each student. This is especially critical during periods of heightened inflation and uncertain returns on endowment investments.
Your support through a gift to The Peddie Fund plays a pivotal role in fostering impactful opportunities and experiences for our students.”
