Why support Penikese?

Support our work

By supporting the Penikese Island School with your generous donations you send us a message that our mission is important. Your gifts allow us to remain independent, and private. That means we are able to focus on meeting the needs of our students based on what is best for each individual, no matter their circumstance, something that not every school can do. Tuition alone does not cover our remarkable family sized 2:1 student to staff ratio, our clinical programs and services, or our Aftercare community outreach efforts to create lasting connections with our students and families. We believe we have a mission worth sustaining and your donations make that possible. On behalf of all of us we extend to you our deepest gratitude for your ongoing support and belief in our cause. Make a donation.

Giving Categories

Penikese has created gift categories to recognize all the help we get along the way to keep our mission strong.  Each category is named for a book or an essay written about Penikese’s unique approach to rehabilitating troubled youth.  Before choosing your method of donation, please take a moment to choose the level at which you would like to be recognized.

If you have questions about supporting Penikese or wish to make a gift, contact Patricia Peal, Development Director, at 508.548.7276, x 207, or .
