Capital Campaign
A capital campaign is an ongoing process of fundraising over a designated period of time for specific goals. These goals for Cape Henry in recent years have been to construct Founders Hall, the Alfred T. Taylor Field House, the administrative wing, The Perry Library, The Perry Family Auditorium, The Fain Family Atrium, The Hirschbiel Center for the Arts, The Sims Lower School, the Preston Scot Creech Fitness Center, and The Sparks Science and Technology Center. Recently, the School has launched the Bridge to the Future campaign to support enhancements to the cafeteria, library, and school entrance, and the addition of an artificial turf field. Naming opportunities are available and pledges made to the capital campaign may be spread over multi-year periods. Please click on Capital Campaign above for further information..
Annual Giving
Annual Giving is the amount projected in the current operating budget which permits the School to enhance student programs. One hundred percent of the money raised for Annual Giving goes directly into the operating budget. The Annual Giving Drive begins in July of each year with letters and continues with brochures and phone calls in the fall to all Cape Henry constituents and concludes June 30 of each year. Parents, grandparents, friends, Founders, faculty, staff, administration, Trustees, vendors, parents of Alumni, and Alumni are all contacted each year.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving is the organized effort to secure long term commitments through various forms of deferred gifts. Sound personal financial and estate planning concepts are used to help individual donors plan their gifts in the most tax wise way. Such gifts may be unrestricted or restricted to a donor's field of interest. All Cape Henry constituents are eligible to make a planned gift.
Endowment
Endowment is a part of Planned Giving. These funds are invested in an endowment fund to produce income to supplement the institution's operating costs. Donors may choose to support a particular area of the School's operating budget, academic or otherwise. In addition to the Cape Henry family, foundations and corporations are contacted to help build the School's endowment. Gifts may be either current or deferred gifts.
Annual Cape Henry Collegiate Golf Tournament
The Cape Henry Collegiate Golf Tournament is held each year in the spring. The collection of donated prizes and solicitation for sponsors and underwriters begins early in the fall.

Grand Auction Gala
The Grand Auction Gala, traditionally held in the winter, is Cape Henry's major fundraiser for the year. The collection of items for the live and silent auctions, acquisition of ads for the program, and solicitation of underwriters begins early in the school year. The monies raised go to support the general operating budget which in turn supports every aspect of life at Cape Henry. |
