Ways to Give
Advancement
At St. Martin’s, every act of support makes a meaningful impact that builds a strong tradition of philanthropy. These efforts sustain the spirit of our school and help our students thrive.
The Advancement Team works to build meaningful connections between St. Martin's and our families, fostering a culture of giving that supports our mission and helps us reach our highest aspirations. St. Martin’s relies on several key sources of non-tuition income to support its mission: The St. Martin’s Fund (our annual giving campaign), Georgia GOAL (a state tax-credit program that provides need-based financial aid), and our annual Golf Tournament, which benefits the SMES Endowment. When special capital or facility needs arise, we also launch targeted fundraising campaigns to meet those goals. Every contribution helps us sustain excellence and boldly pursue new opportunities.
By giving back, we move our mission forward, one student, one family, one future at a time. We welcome everyone to actively participate in the life of our school!
The Vision of Development at St. Martin's
The vision of the SMES Advancement Team is to build meaningful relationships and strengthen connections within our parent community, fostering a culture of philanthropy that advances the mission of St. Martin's Episcopal School.
Ways to Give
The St. Martin's Fund
The St. Martin’s Fund is our top giving priority, bridging the gap beyond tuition to enrich every child’s experience. Your gift supports innovation in learning, campus safety, financial aid, and faculty growth. We are proud to achieve 100% SMF participation from faculty, staff, and trustees, a clear reflection of their
unwavering commitment to our school's mission. We invite our parent community to join us in that same spirit as we work towards 100% participation together.
The St. Martin's Golf Tournament
The St. Martin’s Golf Tournament, held at Peachtree Golf Club, is the only event that sustains our Endowment Fund. Since 2002, we have raised over $750,000, supporting future students, providing tuition assistance, and offering professional development opportunities to our faculty and staff.
Georgia GOAL
Redirect a portion of your state tax dollars to St. Martin's tuition assistance program through Georgia GOAL. This dollar-to-dollar tax credit program is available at no cost to you and provides critical funding that benefits St. Martin’s.
PTO
The St. Martin’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) plays an integral role in school life, fostering community through social events, fundraising and volunteer efforts. * PTO-raised funds are separate from your The St. Martin’s Fund contributions and do not support the school’s operating budget managed by the Advancement Team.*
