The Kew-Forest Endowment
Empowering Kew-Forest’s Future
Building on Kew-Forest’s generational success in of educating lifelong learners, our strategy for the future calls for significant and sustained investments in our classrooms, faculty, facilities, and students. A growing endowment enables Kew-Forest to meet these goals and ensure our place in the ever-changing educational landscape of Queens.
Endowed donations are accepted at the $25,000 level and above. For a minimum donation of $100,000 the donor can establish a named Scholarship or choose to have a classroom named after them. Many naming opportunities exist, including naming the Main Rotunda, classrooms, or specific academic or co-curricular programs.
