December 2, 2025 is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity and a moment to support the people and institutions that mean the most. At NPES, Giving Tuesday marks the launch of our annual Challenge Grant for the NPES Fund.

This year, we are thrilled to announce a $50,000 Challenge Grant – an extraordinary commitment from our Board of Trustees and Development Committee. Their generosity increases the matching opportunity by $20,000 over last year, doubling the impact of every gift made between December 2 and December 31, 2025.

Your support goes twice as far in strengthening the programs and experiences that set NPES apart.

Your Gift Powers the NPES Fund

The NPES Fund is foundational to everything we do and everything we aspire to be. While tuition covers most essential operations, the NPES Fund fuels the enhancements that keep our school vibrant, innovative, and forward-looking.

This year, gifts to the NPES Fund will help strengthen:

• Community Partnerships – Deepening service-learning experiences and neighborhood connections
• Faculty Excellence – Supporting the growth, well-being, and retention of exceptional teachers
• Financial Aid & Access – Expanding socio-economic diversity and widening access for qualified students
• Athletic Offerings – Sustaining and enhancing athletics across all grades

These investments make an immediate and lasting impact on teaching, learning, and the student experience at every level.

Celebrating Last Year’s Success

Thanks to the generosity of our community, last year’s Giving Tuesday Challenge raised an outstanding $69,425 in gifts and pledges. That momentum helped strengthen programs and expand opportunities for all students.

Join Us This Year

With a $50,000 Challenge Grant on the table, we have the opportunity to make this our strongest Giving Tuesday yet. Every gift – at every level – helps us unlock the full match and even exceed our goal by December 31.

All Giving Tuesday donors will be recognized on this webpage and in a special section of the NPES Annual Report.

Together, we can end 2025 with purpose, momentum, and a shared commitment to ensuring NPES remains a place where students thrive and our community flourishes.
