Since 2014, Charlie Lovett '77 and the Lovett Foundation have donated $2,500 to Summit School, enabling the 9th grade class to make a gift to a local nonprofit organization. The students collaborate with our development office to learn about philanthropy, the Lovett Foundation, and deserving organizations in our community. Approximately 5-7 agencies submit a grant application to Summit. The students and staff review the applications, ask questions of the organizations, and have robust conversations about how to narrow the field. The 2024 recipient of the 9th Grade Philanthropy Project grant is the A. Bailey Legacy Foundation for Women. This philanthropic foundation celebrates and invests in the lives of women and girls of color through scholarships and education, award recognition, health development projects, humanitarian efforts, and mentor programs. Dr. Alicia Bailey accepted the grant at the Welcome New Alums Breakfast this morning. #SociallyResponsible #Honorable
