Give for Good Advanced Giving Opens TODAY!

North Louisiana's largest day of giving is back! Last year, you set the bar high. So this year, we need your help more than ever to ensure Southfield School can continue to provide the same excellence in education, facilities, and overall experience.
With a minimum donation amount of only $10, everyone can be a philanthropist. And for as little as $25, you can make a huge impact toward lab and athletic equipment, classroom upgrades, facility and campus needs, and security and safety at Southfield School.

Your donations help us bridge the 15% gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate a child. Simply visit giveforgoodnla.org/southfieldschool to give to the Eagles’ Fund directly!

HOW TO GIVE:

  • Visit giveforgoodnla.org/southfieldschool from April 19-May 3.
  • Give your best to Southfield School and check out in one easy step. You'll receive a tax receipt immediately.

Please refer to the list below and send the designated snack or drink to school with your child. PLEASE SEND THE REQUESTED DRINK SIZE. WE CAN'T USE DRINKS IN 2-LITER BOTTLES SINCE WE WILL NOT HAVE CUPS.
