Introducing ISB Annual Giving

ISB Annual Giving is our annual community campaign that unites families, alumni, faculty, and friends to support meaningful opportunities that enrich learning and enhance the student experience. 

At the heart of this campaign is the Annual Fund, which provides flexible support for projects and ideas that directly benefit students throughout the year.

How the Annual Fund Makes a Difference

  • Enhancing creative learning spaces and access to new tools and technologies
  • Bringing visiting authors, artists, and experts into our classrooms
  • Expanding student leadership and well-being initiatives
  • Supporting innovation and pilot programs that extend learning beyond the curriculum
  • Enabling professional learning for teachers that strengthens instructional excellence

These are enhancements beyond what tuition supports. They are investments in innovation, inclusion, and joy in every learner’s journey.

Design This Year’s ISB Hong Bao

The ISB Hong Bao Design Initiative returns as part of ISB Annual Giving, inviting everyone in our community to help create this year’s official collection.

Rooted in Chinese tradition, hong bao symbolize good fortune and generosity. At ISB, they also provide a meaningful way to celebrate our community’s creativity while supporting opportunities that enrich student learning.

Following the success of last year’s collection, submissions are now open to all ISB students, families, staff and alumni. Selected artwork will be featured in the official 2026–2027 ISB Hong Bao collection, which will be sold in support of ISB Annual Giving.

Whether you are an experienced artist or simply have an idea you would love to share, we invite you to take part.

Submissions close Tuesday, Oct 6, 2026.

How do my gifts make an impact?

By default, gifts to the Annual Fund are undesignated and will be used at ISB’s discretion to provide the greatest impact for our students and community. But you may also choose to direct your support toward one of several specific projects listed below. Every contribution – of any size – will directly enhance teaching, learning, and community life at ISB and help us continue to live by our Mission and Strategic Focus Areas.
