This is a School We Love.
Let's Ensure its Future.
Brawerman has raised more than $9.8 million in cash and legacy pledges.
A robust endowment is an essential component for schools in a landscape of rising tuition and scholarship requests. This fund is a source of long-term support for the school. The principal is invested, and the yearly income may be used to:
- provide financial assistance
- retain and recruit faculty
- stabilize tuition
- fund programs
Both Annual Giving and Endowment are critical to Brawerman’s success.
Annual Giving raises funds from all school families every year for current use. Endowment provides for the future.

Why is the endowment important? How is it managed?
The Brawerman Elementary School Endowment, launched in 2015, is a source of long-term support for the school. The principal of the fund is invested and the income generated may be used to help stabilize rising tuition over time, retain and recruit faculty, provide financial assistance, and fund emerging programs at Brawerman.

Thank you to our Founding Head of School for spearheading Brawerman's endowment and helping ensure Brawerman's future.
What is an Endowment?
An endowment fund is a large sum of donated money, the principal of which is invested and is intended to remain intact. The interest from an endowment provides an institution with a steady, reliable stream of income for years to come. By preparing for the future, we provide a foundation that will allow Brawerman to thrive as a Reform Jewish Day School with the highest academic standards for generations to come.
