Donor Impact and Recognition
Berkeley Preparatory School is incredibly grateful for our community of donors, who help nourish and sustain our great school.
Berkeley recognizes leadership donors by welcoming them into various Giving Societies. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement with any additional questions.
Why We Give
“While our children currently attend Berkeley, it was more important for us to help lay the groundwork, along with other donors, for future generations of Berkeley students and teachers. This state-of-the-art facility provides the environment that teachers need to continue nurturing students who will positively impact the community beyond Berkeley. The sustained excellence of the school was a large part of our decision to give, and we encourage others to do the same.”
—Sneha and Vik Patel, parents of Sofia ’35 and Mischa ’37
“As we explored Berkeley, we were excited to learn about all the ways we could help give back to our alma mater that has given us so much. We loved hearing about the scholarship opportunities through the Endowed Alumni Scholarship Fund that allow students to attend Berkeley who might not have been able to otherwise, as well the Berkeley Academy, a free program at Berkeley that helps highly motivated students from low-income households in Tampa Bay reach their unique potential and achieve their dream of going to college. We want to do our part to help provide better access to a high-quality education.”
—Taylor Chmielewski West ’08 and Stephen West ’11
“After every visit to Berkeley to see our grandchildren, my comment has been, ‘I think I want to go back to school here!’ We are excited to support such a positive school environment where academic excellence is combined with the arts, sports, and more. There truly is something for everyone at Berkeley, and we believe that our contribution will support positive things in the lives of our grandchildren for years to come and help them feel prepared for all that is ahead of them in life.”
—Sheri and Paul Page, grandparents of Claire Stockstad ’27, Annie Stockstad ’30, and Carr Stockstad ’33
