Support

Welcome from the Oakwood Development Office!

Philanthropic giving has been a long-standing tradition in independent schools, and since Oakwood’s founding in 1998, the generosity of families, faculty, staff, alumni, grandparents, and friends has been especially important. This spirit of paying it forward sustains our mission and ensures that we can continue providing an intentional education for today’s students while thoughtfully planning for generations to come. Each gift is not only an investment in our school now but also a way to create a lasting legacy that strengthens Oakwood’s future.

As an independent, non-profit school, Oakwood relies on the collective participation of its community. Your support makes financial aid possible, fuels faculty development, expands programs, and enhances technology, athletics, fine arts, and student initiatives. Through the Annual Fund, fundraising events like the Fund Run and Auction, and other opportunities to give, every person—and every gift—matters. Together, we build on Oakwood’s tradition of excellence and ensure a legacy that benefits generations of Hawks to come.

We would be pleased to visit with you about the different ways that your giving can enrich the Oakwood experience. Your gifts and involvement truly make our school extraordinary!

Thank you for helping to make Oakwood a special place.

With gratitude,

Melissa Barrow
Director of Development and Alumni Relations
