Annual Giving

The Leadership Council

LEADERSHIP

LOOKS LIKE

YOU.

Leadership looks like passionate alumni, parents, and friends of Shipley who are willing to make a significant philanthropic commitment to ensure the School’s success. It looks like supporters who value our talented teachers, appreciate Shipley’s philosophy of education, and are proud to set an example for others. Leadership looks like Courage for the Deed, Grace for the Doing. 
When you make a Leadership Council level gift to Shipley, you join an exclusive network of supporters who are invested in Shipley’s strategic direction — and who provide more than 80% of the School’s annual contributed support. 

Why join? In a word, impact. Shipley’s Leadership Council members are committed to shaping Shipley students and supporting Shipley colleagues — to both further our reputation as one of the most highly regarded independent schools in the Philadelphia area, and to cultivate the “changemakers” that will improve lives and transform our world.
