An endowment is structured to keep the fund principal intact while the investment earnings income is available for use. This allows donations to have a lasting impact over time versus being spent all at once. An endowment has stipulations regarding its usage – and funds are defined as “restricted.” Contributions to endowments can be of any size but require a minimum balance before distribution.

FINANCIAL AID ENDOWMENT
The Financial Aid Endowment receives contributions in support of need-based financial aid. Earnings from this endowment provide tuition assistance for students who would not otherwise be able to attend Hamlin Robinson School.

JOAN BEAUREGARD ENDOWMENT FOR DISCOVERY AND ENRICHMENT 
The Joan Beauregard Endowment for Discovery & Enrichment creates for HRS students – and the HRS community – experiences that will broaden and deepen their understanding of our world. Earnings from this endowment fund life-changing experiences involving cultural, historic, civic, artistic, and scientific thinking.

FORTIN FAMILY ENDOWMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Fortin Family Endowment for Professional Development receives contributions in support of ongoing opportunities that will keep Hamlin Robinson School at the forefront of best teaching practices. Earnings from this endowment provide professional development assistance for HRS faculty and staff.

Hamlin Robinson School moved into our new building in 2015, with the goal of reaching projected capacity within 10 years. With a growing reputation of a world-class educational program, classrooms filled to capacity within five years.

Demand has outpaced what can be provided by the current facility and campus. The result is an enrollment waitlist of students who desperately need the HRS educational program at almost every grade level. Regrettably, there are students unable to access HRS programs who continue to experience academic and social challenges.

In May of 2018, the HRS Board of Trustees seized the opportunity to purchase a highly coveted property directly across the street from the school’s current campus. Recognizing our need to increase capacity, plans to launch a capital campaign to construct a new middle school were developed. The Board voted to launch the Elevating Our Impact capital campaign in the fall of 2019.

Hamlin Robinson School is embarking on this capital campaign to fund the construction of a dedicated middle school facility. This campus expansion will build on the strengths of a K-8 setting and allow for innovative growth across the three core programs of the school; the lower school, the middle school and the Learning Center.

Hamlin Robinson School is continuously seeking ways to evolve and grow our educational programs in order to best meet the needs of our students and the greater community. We are currently seeking a sponsorship for the following opportunity, with Donor Naming as a possibility:

HRS LEARNING CENTER SPEAKER SERIES

Funds would allow HRS to expand its current community series to include speakers who require speaker fees/travel fees as part of their appearance obligation. This series exists as a tool of outreach to help as many families as possible who are associated with dyslexia or other language-based learning differences.

Planned gifts are a meaningful way for donors to fulfill their financial and philanthropic goals. Unlike cash donations, they are assets in an estate rather than disposable income, and come to fruition upon death. There are many types of planned gifts, and choosing the right one depends on personal financial circumstances. Please contact HRS regarding bequests and planned gifts.
