Support
Ways to Give
Since Norfolk Collegiate was established, we have built new facilities, offered challenging new courses, expanded our arts and athletic programs and increased our student body. Yet the school's spirit of generosity has never changed.
For seven decades, parents, grandparents, alumni, trustees, faculty and friends have generously supported Collegiate. We are grateful to those who have believed in our vision for the school and supported us throughout the years. However, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Norfolk Collegiate education, nor does it provide significant funds to construct new buildings or increase our endowment to benefit our faculty and students.
Your gifts also help to provide the best teachers, educational resources and facilities. Most importantly, your gifts have a lifetime impact on our students.
All gifts to Norfolk Collegiate are tax-deductible, acknowledged by the Development Office and may be made via cash, check, credit card (Mastercard, Visa, Discover or American Express) or online.
For additional information on any of these types of gifts, please contact the Assistant Head for Advancement Stacy Nixon at 757.480.2348 or snixon@norfolkcollegiate.org.
