Why Contribute

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.Winston Churchill

At PS1 Pluralistic School, everyone plays a vital role in shaping our shared journey.

For over 50 years, the generosity and dedication of our community have been the cornerstone of the vibrant campus, enriching education, and transformative experiences that define PS1 today. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, PS1’s mission, to spark curious and creative thinkers who contribute meaningfully to the world, goes far beyond what tuition alone can support. This mission thrives because of the ongoing gifts of time, talent, and philanthropy from our extended family of parents, grandparents, alumni, trustees, teachers, and staff.

It is the diversity, spirit, and collective strength of this community that truly sets PS1 apart. To honor this, we provide a variety of meaningful ways for everyone to contribute, ensuring that each member can play their part in sustaining and growing the exceptional PS1 experience for generations to come.
