Annual Clark Giving Society
We are incredibly grateful to our amazing donors for their generous support of The Stanley Clark School. As part of our continued commitment to recognizing and stewarding our donors, we have recently implemented updates to our annual Giving Society.
Donors who contribute to the school in any way—through the Clark Fund, fundraising events, restricted gifts, endowments, or matching gifts—will be recognized according to their total giving within the fiscal year. These changes allow us to more meaningfully acknowledge the generosity that sustains and strengthens The Stanley Clark School.
Your contributions enrich the lives of our students every day and create a brighter future!

Lifetime Giving Societies
John H. Fannin Planned Giving Society
John H. Fannin was a beloved Upper School Head (Grades 7 & 8), Assistant Head of School, US History teacher, and football and basketball coach. He served the Stanley Clark school community for 37 years. After his retirement in 2004, John created a trust in his estate planning that would support the school's faculty, students, and mission for years to come — all the things he loved the most. The school was the beneficiary of a wonderful gift that is still making a difference today, upon John's passing in June of 2010. In his memory, the school named the planned giving arm of our philanthropic program, The John H. Fannin Society.
Planned giving is an important avenue for both donors and nonprofits. Often, planned gifts are made through estate planning and include gifts of equity, life insurance, real estate, personal property, or cash. These types of gifts often enable donors to make more substantial contributions to the nonprofits they hold dear. If you have considered The Stanley Clark School in your estate planning or wish to know more, please contact Kat Gardner at kgardner@stanleyclark.org.
Mollie Bernard's Founders Society
Named in honor of our visionary founder, Mollie Bernard, the Founders Society recognizes individuals whose lifetime giving to The Stanley Clark School totals $100,000 or more. Without Mollie’s bold vision, our school would not be what it is today.
Members of this society embody her enduring legacy—carrying the torch forward to ensure that future generations of Clark students continue to thrive.
"From the start, Mollie envisioned a school where each child would be known, challenged, and celebrated—an idea that remains central to our mission today." ~ Dr. Ben Ottenweller, Head of School
