Have an Item to Give?
Burke will be accepting new auction items for our online, silent and live auctions until March 23rd. Show your support by submitting an auction item donation form, calling the Development Office at (202) 362-8882 ext. 636 or emailing jrawlings@eburke.org. Your participation is an invaluable part of making Burke's financial aid program among the strongest in the region.
Interested in Becoming a Sponsor?
Burke relies on cash donations and sponsors in order to provide such generous financial aid to so many worthy students. Burke accepts straight donations, but also has creating sponsorship packages - ranging from $250 up to $5,000 - that provides a variety of promotional opportunities for businesses and friends. We have designed these packages to give our sponsors considerable recognition before our school community and the broader public. Burke families are very loyal patrons to the companies that support the school. For more information, please visit Burke's website or call Jennifer Rawlings at (202) 362-8882 ext 636.
Edmund Burke School thanks you in advance for your donations and your participation.

Your Support of our Un-Auction makes a Burke Education Possible for Scores of Great Kids
Burke’s mission is to consciously bring together students who are different from one another in many ways, and one of the many important ways we ensure this diversity is through a large financial aid program. Burke allocates 17% of our operating budget to financial aid, which is the highest percentage among independent schools in the region. This year, 33% of the student body is receiving some form of financial assistance, ranging from 10% to 80% of full annual tuition.
