Donate to The Pathfinder School

The Pathfinder School is a nonprofit organization. We rely on your financial support to bridge the gap between what tuition covers and the full cost of a Pathfinder education experience.

Will you donate today to Pathfinder’s Annual Campaign?* Your investment directly impacts each student at Pathfinder and helps build a stronger, unified community. Thank you for supporting a community where each person makes a daily choice to invest in the collective future of our youth.

*Your gift is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
