GDS is the village that helped me raise my son - it will always be on the top of my charitable giving list so other children can experience this remarkable place!
Linda Jackson, Parent of Alumni
GDS has given our children the intellectual rigor and emotional and social support they needed to develop and thrive. Giving to GDS allows us to play a role in enabling future generations to benefit from the extraordinary community and mission.
Lisa Fairfax, Parent of Alumni
Change starts with us, first. If we wait for another person or another time to give, change will not happen. We believe it's crucial to continue to build a legacy of equity and inclusion at and beyond the walls of GDS.
