About Maclay School Foundation
Maclay School Foundation Inc centers its giving on Maclay School’s own operating needs, with the largest recent grant going to Alfred B Maclay Jr Day School for operations at $280,665 in 2025. That pattern fits the foundation’s role as the philanthropic arm behind a single school community rather than a broad external grantmaker. The organization also supports long-term school capacity through named efforts such as the Maclay Fund, Faculty Endowment, Capital Projects, and Athletics Master Plan 2027, showing a mix of operating support, facilities, and program funding tied to the same campus. Its stated emphasis spans education, K-12 schools, arts, athletics, campus life, college counseling, and student health and safety. Recent grant data shows the foundation’s support has also continued across years, including another operations grant to the same school in 2023. The overall picture is a school-based funder that combines annual support with targeted initiatives for faculty, students, and campus development.
What Maclay School Foundation Funds
Within K-12 education, the foundation’s giving is closely tied to school operations and student experience. A 2025 grant of $280,665 to Alfred B Maclay Jr Day School was designated for operations, and the foundation also lists the Maclay Fund as its annual giving program for operating priorities. Scholarship support is another clear theme: the Head of School Scholarship is described as a scholarship referenced on the admissions pages and tied to tuition assistance and student financial aid. Faculty support appears through the Faculty Endowment, which is set up for faculty positions, development, or related initiatives. Campus investment is also part of the picture, including Capital Projects for facilities improvements and the Athletics Master Plan 2027 for athletics facilities and sports program development.
How Maclay School Foundation Gives
Maclay School Foundation Inc’s recent grants show a wide spread from $148,290 at the 25th percentile to $192,415 at the median and $236,540 at the 75th percentile. The top recent award, $280,665, sits above that middle range, while another operations grant of $104,165 appears in the 2023 record. The data also shows repeat support to the same recipient across multiple years, pointing to recurring school-based funding rather than one-off external awards. The foundation is structured around Maclay School fundraising and stewardship programs, including annual giving, planned giving, and endowment support. Several active programs accept unsolicited support requests.
