• Increase the school's financial aid budget, helping more academically talented students gain access to a St. George's education;
• Bolster the school's diversity, equity, and inclusion programs;
• Build a new wellness center, reinforcing St. George's aim to support student health and provide fitness opportunities for every member of the community;
• Help fund a comprehensive renovation of the Arden/Diman/Eccles dormitory complex, adding more community spaces for students to gather; and
• Construct two faculty residential buildings on the Lower Road to allow more teachers to live closer to the campus core.

Mr. Schmaltz is the founding partner of the private-equity firm Yellow Wood Partners. He has served on the St. George's Board of Trustees since 2011 and was appointed Treasurer in 2013. His tenure as Board Chair began on July 1, 2021.

"Dana and Kate's gift is an important milestone in St. George's history as we celebrate our 125th anniversary and look to the future. We are currently seeing record applications and an increasingly competitive admission arena," St. George's Head of School Alixe Callen said. "Just 14% of students who applied to SG this year were accepted. Likewise, we are incredibly proud of the Class of 2022, which is headed to some of the most selective colleges and universities in the country. Their success further validates our commitment to academic excellence and the sense of community we have created here at St. George's."

"We hope this gift inspires others within the St. George's community to join us in supporting the school at this exciting moment in whatever way they can," Schmaltz added.  "We have big plans for the future, and we will need help to achieve them."
