The Fund for Tatnall
The Fund for Tatnall is our annual fund. Donations to it support everything at Tatnall and enable us to continually improve our campus; provide rigorous academic, athletic, and cultural programs; and maintain quality faculty. Recently, donor contributions led to the creation of the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), the installation of a turf field, and sustainable Ecco flooring throughout Early Childhood and Lower School, renovations to our Caffe & senior lounge, and a new biology lab and classroom. These additions and more give our students countless opportunities to grow and excel.
