~ Individual donations
~ Endowments

Community Auction
The Griffin School Foundation holds the "Steamboat Island Getaway" community auction biannually, during even years. The fifth GSF auction was held September 13, 2008, at the Prosperity Grange on Steamboat Island Road. Over 300 community members attended the event which combined a wonderful seafood and chicken dinner with both live and silent auctions. As with previous auctions, the 2008 fund-raiser was a resounding success, with gross proceeds exceeding $92,000.
