Support Explorer West
The Compass Fund is our annual giving campaign. Donations to the fund bridge the gap between tuition revenue and expenses. With your help, we attract and retain the best faculty and continue to provide the amazing Explorer West experience, including our dynamic academic and arts programming, enrichment, student support, and outdoor education.
Support the Compass Fund on the timeline that works best for you. Click the "Donate today" button to make a contribution now or set up monthly payments. Or, click "Pledge for Later" and commit to making a donation anytime before May 31, 2027. Thank you for your support!
As a financial supporter of Explorer West, you make a meaningful impact on every student, every day. Your generosity enriches and enhances our program far beyond what is possible by tuition dollars alone.
Tuition covers 79% of our costs. We work tirelessly to source additional funds through grants and planned giving. Donations from our community bridge the remaining gap.
