When it comes to giving, every gift makes a difference.
The Heronfield Fund is our annual giving campaign that raises money to support the daily operations of the school during the academic year.
Why is it necessary?
Heronfield is an independent school which operates without state or federal funding. The school relies on tuition dollars, endowment funds and charitable donations to fund the education of our students, our incredible faculty and all of the programs at our school.
Why should I participate?
The Heronfield Fund is the only fund that is restricted to cover the difference between total tuition revenue and actual operating expenses. Like most independent schools, tuition covers approximately 80% of the school’s operating costs. We turn to philanthropic giving to cover the approximate 20% difference.
At Heronfield, we have a strong history of giving. This school was founded on the idea that both parents and children wanted a different approach to education. The founders and special friends of the school recognized that their gifts would establish and maintain an independent middle school where each child’s gifts were celebrated. When we receive participation in the Heronfield Fund from the entire community, it signals that our future is strong; it is a vote of confidence in the mission of our school.
We ask you to give at the level that you are comfortable giving. Unlike other schools that have a strong endowment, your gift will have a direct impact on our students. All gifts help Heronfield to reach our financial and participation goals. Donations are fully tax deductible.
We invite you to contact Kristen Crean, Director of Advancement, at (603) 777-1337, kcrean@heronfield.org, or use the Donate Today link now for more information.

We have been so impressed with the teachers and the overall learning experience at Heronfield, whether that has been in person or online. For us, supporting the fundraising campaign is one way we can help Heronfield continue to deliver such a unique and excellent learning experience. Our daughters absolutely love the school.
Allan & Jill Mayo
Heronfield parents
We once heard in a sermon to give to organizations because you want to be part of something great. Heronfield is beyond great! We love, Love, LOVE Heronfield! It offers an incredible opportunity that we are fortunate to have in our backyard. Our daughter has thrived in so many ways at Heronfield, where she may have withered in an alternative environment.
