Community Investment
Invest where your child learns
Community Investment helps provide the teachers, programs, facilities, safety measures, and classroom resources that make a Great Hearts education possible.
100% of your Community Investment gift stays at your academy.
Supporting Our Academies
What is Community Investment?
Great Hearts is committed to offering students an exceptional classical education. Public funding, however, does not cover the full cost of delivering that education at the level our students and families deserve.
The annual Community Investment campaign helps bridge that funding gap. These gifts directly support each academy’s operating budget and provide faculty and students with the resources they need to learn, teach, and thrive.
