| Kaplani School Fund |
The Kaplani School Fund is a collaboration between Friends of Woodstock School (FWS) and Timberline Foundation to help support the addition of Grades 11 and 12 at Kaplani School by covering the cost of two additional teachers. Kaplani has a long-standing connection with Woodstock. Bob Alter founded Mussoorie Gramin Vikas Samita (MGVS) – the Mussoorie Village Development Committee, an Indian NGO which includes a number of projects and programs operated in the Garhwal area and is the entity that administers Kaplani School. Timberline Foundation, founded by Jeet Singh ’81, has been making grants to support Kaplani since 2002 and Woodstock alumni have financed Kaplani campus buildings. Woodstock students have organized efforts to donate furniture, books, and supplies, and Woodstock has provided tutoring to Kaplani students. A sign over the campus gateway refers to the role of former Woodstock students in making the school possible. |
| FWS Legacy Endowment Fund | An endowment to help preserve the long-term financial viability of Friends of Woodstock School. The assets of the endowment are prudently managed to generate sustaining support not just for one year or even one generation but in perpetuity. All donations are invested. They form the “body” of the endowment and may not be spent. A portion of each year’s earnings equal to the prior year’s inflation rate plus 1% is reinvested to prevent erosion of the body of the Endowment, and the rest of each year’s earnings may be spent where most needed. The legal commitments of FWS concerning this Endowment are covered by a written Charter that represents a binding contract with you, the donor, amplifying how your donation to the Endowment will be used. FWS will be happy to provide the full text of the Charter on request. |
