Ways to Give
Your generosity helps us create an exceptional learning environment where our students are empowered to excel both academically and personally. Every contribution directly impacts our students by supporting innovative programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and transformative experiences that make IST a school like no other.
Your unrestricted gift supports essential resources for student programs, technology enhancements, and professional development for faculty.
Whether your business is sponsoring an official school event, underwriting the arts or athletics booster, or you are interested in giving toward our annual spring gala, there are ample sponsorship opportunities at IST.
Ensure IST stands the test of time by contributing to our capital initiatives, including campus improvements and the creation of cutting-edge learning spaces.
Donate to specific projects like our most recent build the International Peace and Reflection Garden or support for STEM initiatives, where students explore hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
