It is the commitment of the entire GPS community that makes our school an extraordinary place for each GPS girl to learn and grow, find her voice and ready herself for her journey of becoming all that she dreams. Gifts to GPS of any size, for the annual Impact Fund, capital projects, or the Endowment are necessary to fuel the mission of GPS and ensure the promise of a GPS for future generations to come. We salute the many alumnae, parents, past parents, grandparents, trustees, faculty, staff and friends who believe in GPS and make it possible for girls in our community to have an exceptional all-girls educational opportunity, where everything begins and ends with what is best for girls.

Our broker and account information can be found below:
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is an otherwise taxable distribution from an IRA owned by an individual who is age 70½ or older, paid directly from the IRA to a qualified charity. QCDs from an IRA are a popular asset to use when making a gift to GPS—they may enable you to fulfill required minimum distributions and realize important tax benefits while supporting the GPS experience.
