Your Gift Changes Lives
At Linden Grove School, every gift opens doors for students with special needs to learn, grow, and thrive.
Your generosity helps provide innovative educational experiences, therapeutic supports, vocational training, and opportunities that empower students to reach their fullest potential.
Why Your Support Matters
Tuition and traditional funding sources do not fully cover the cost of the exceptional educational programs and services Linden Grove students deserve.
Philanthropic support helps us:
- Enhance classroom learning experiences
- Expand life skills programming
- Support specialized therapies and student services
- Invest in technology and adaptive resources
Create meaningful opportunities for student growth and independence. When you give to Linden Grove, you invest in a community where every student is valued, challenged, and celebrated.
Make a gift today and help transform lives.
Ways to Support
ANNUAL FUND
The Linden Grove School Annual Fund provides direct support for the programs, services, and opportunities that help our students learn, grow, and thrive. Because tuition and other funding sources do not fully cover the cost of providing an exceptional educational experience, Annual Fund gifts help bridge the gap and ensure our students receive the resources they need.
Whether you make a one-time gift, become a recurring donor, or participate in Giving Day, your generosity strengthens Linden Grove's mission and creates a lasting impact for our students and families.

A one-time gift provides immediate support where it is needed most. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps enhance educational programming, student services, technology, therapeutic supports, and opportunities for student success.

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple the impact of your donation. Contact your employer's human resources department to determine if your gift is eligible for matching funds.
GIVING DAY
Giving Day serves as the kickoff to Linden Grove School's Annual Fund, bringing together families, alumni, staff, friends, and community supporters in a shared commitment to our students.

As Linden Grove School marks its 40th Anniversary, we look forward to celebrating with the community that has supported our mission for four decades.
From the Great Pumpkin Derby to our Signature Event, our special events offer opportunities to connect, celebrate, and make a difference for our students.
THE GREAT PUMPKIN DERBY
As part of Linden Grove School's 40th Anniversary celebration, we are excited to bring back a favorite fall tradition with the Great Pumpkin Derby.
Formerly known as the Great Pumpkin Race and Pumpkin Palooza, this community event brings together students, families, providers, alumni, and community members for a day of fun, creativity, and friendly competition. Participants decorate pumpkins, add wheels, and race their creations down a derby ramp, showcasing their imagination along the way.
Whether you're entering a pumpkin racer, sponsoring the event, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, the Great Pumpkin Derby is a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet new families, and support Linden Grove students.
SIGNATURE EVENT
The Signature Event is Linden Grove School's premier annual fundraising event. Each year, nearly 300 guests come together for an evening of great food, entertainment, and auction experiences, all in support of our students and mission.
As we celebrate Linden Grove School's 40th Anniversary, this year's event will be a special opportunity to reflect on four decades of impact while looking ahead to the future. The evening brings together families, alumni, community partners, and friends for a memorable night of connection and support.
Whether you attend, sponsor, donate, or volunteer, the Signature Event plays an important role in helping Linden Grove provide meaningful opportunities for the students and families we serve.
