The Overlake Fund

Investing in Students, Teachers, and Programs

The Overlake Fund is our most important annual fundraising initiative, and makes an immediate, positive impact on every aspect of the school, taking our programs from wonderful to exceptional. The Overlake Fund is critical to providing more than 5% of the school’s operating budget. Additionally, 75% of the operating budget pays for teachers’ salaries and benefits, and our instructional programs.

Each and every gift, regardless of size, directly supports:

  • Strong academics, arts and athletics programs that provide each student the opportunity to excel both inside and outside the classroom
  • Co-curricular and experiential education programs, including outdoor education, service learning and our signature Project Week, that develop empathy, responsibility, leadership and creative problem-solving that will last a lifetime
  • Outstanding and experienced faculty who challenge and support students to reach their potential
  • Students and teachers from diverse backgrounds and experiences to enhance the educational experience for all
  • Maintenance of our beautiful campus that encourages reflection, personal growth and a lifelong love of learning

Your support of the Overlake Fund makes our mission possible. Thank you for making your gift today!

(Please also note that donations to the Overlake Fund are fully tax-deductible in accordance with the law. We ask that pledges be paid by June 15, 2025.)
