Except for a nominal $25 registration/materials fee, regular classes at The Henry George School are free. No donation of any kind is required to participate in any course.

How the School Is Supported

Much of the School's work is done by volunteers. Since the first classes were conducted in Chicago, the graduates themselves have carried on and extended the work of the School. They prepare themselves to teach, give their time to promote the School, recruit students, and contribute financially to help pay the necessary costs.  

The School benefits from a small endowment received in 1986, as a bequest from Sam Leonard (Levin), who had been a student and instructor at the School in the 1930s. This was supplemented in 1999 by a major gift in memory of John Arthur Demuth (1848-1923). Additional financial assistance is provided by the Henry George School of Social Science in New York City.

The School's annual financial report (IRS Form 990) is posted on guidestar.

If you make purchases on-line, many merchants (now including eBay) will donate a portion of the proceeds to the School at no cost to you.  For more information or to sign up, visit igive.com. 

All donations to the School are tax deductible under IRC 501(c)(3). All standard tax benefits are available, including deduction of the full value of appreciated property, and lifetime income under a charitable gift annuity, or charitable remainder trust.
