Give for a REASON!
We're kicking off the 2026 Staff Giving Campaign. Your passion lies in empowering students to achieve their dreams. The GIPS Foundation fuels that passion, providing scholarships, funding innovative classroom projects, and creating lasting legacies for generations of learners.
Your Impact in 2026:
- Fuel Dreams: Providing the resources for students to reach higher.
- Ignite Passion: Empowering staff to lead with innovation.
- Ensure Equity: Creating a future where every single student thrives.
Since 2004, GIPS staff have invested an astounding $1.7 million into the lives of our students. The beauty of this campaign is its reach: For every dollar you contribute, the Foundation multiplies its impact, generating $16 in direct benefits for our students.
