ISP is a not-for-profit entity. 100% of your generosity goes directly to enhance the experience of every student by preserving what is best about ISP: exceptional teachers, a challenging and responsive learning program, and unique experiences in and out of the classroom.
The generosity of our community provides vital resources that allow our students and teachers to flourish. By coming together we can continue to Inspire, Engage and Empower future generations of global citizens.
…allows ISP to maintain its reputation of unsurpassed education in the Czech Republic (and beyond) – and to continue to be the type of School that attracted you to it in the first place.
Collective support through the ISP Annual Fund continues to enrich ISP’s transformational learning experience in the classroom and beyond.
Your annual fund donations help ISP go the "extra mile" with unique programs and exceptional resources. The Annual Fund elevates ISP to the level of excellence that tuition alone cannot provide. It touches every part of the school, including academic and after school programs, digital learning, technology, fine arts, sports, and facilities.
Together, we can Inspire, Engage and Empower future generations of global citizens.
The Annual Fund has contributed towards the following programs in 2020-21:

Fundraising for the Annual Fund takes place every year. Donations to the Annual Fund confirm the community’s desire to go beyond the cost of tuition to purchase items and programs that will have an immediate impact on current students. It elevates ISP to the level of excellence that tuition alone cannot provide.
Donations to the Annual Fund are used in the year which they are donated; they provide funding for everything that affects current students each year at the International School of Prague, including:
Despite ISP’s reputation for outstanding facilities and educational excellence, the cost to attend ISP is competitive with other independent schools in the region.
This is partly because we are a not-for-profit (all proceeds go towards improving the experience of ISP students), but also because donors add to our programs, which allow us to offer more without charging more.
Raising tuition to cover increased needs is a possibility, but it is a short-term solution; eventually, we would price ourselves so far above other schools that we would be considered not competitive. Worse, raising tuition might also make an ISP education unaffordable for many of our families, all of whom make ISP the type of community that is so attractive.
Donations can be made to either of two entities, both of which support ISP students, and both of which provide tax deductions. Individual tax circumstances vary, so please consult your tax advisor.
The two entities are:
Absolutely! Many companies match employee donations, and The International School of Prague Foundation is qualified to accept them. Corporate matching gifts are a great way to easily increase the effect that your donation can have on ISP students, so please contact the ISP Advancement Office if you would like help in determining whether your company will match your donation.
Please make a donation that is meaningful to you. What that amount is depends on the individual, but all gifts add up to the whole group’s ability to continue the level of excellence at ISP. Please be a full, participating member of our community – support the Annual Fund at a level that is appropriate for you.
The earlier the better!
Our academic (and fiscal year) runs from July 1 – June 30. We send our first request for participation in September, and we continue to ask (politely!) in various ways throughout the year. Donating early allows us to thank you profusely and stop sending reminders.
Many ISP parents are generous philanthropists, supporting deserving charities around the globe. Understanding the impact that ISP students have in the world leads many to know that their donations to ISP have long-term effects beyond the halls of our school. Donations to the ISP Annual Fund benefit current and future students. We hope that this will allow you to consider ISP worthy of your highest philanthropic goals.
