Donor Profile - Karen and Tom Buroojy
Karen and Tom Buroojy have been a part of the Newtown Friends School community for over 20 years, beginning in 1996 when their three children, Lisa ’98, Lauren ’00 and Nicholas ’03, started attending NFS. “We have always felt part of a very special community here at NFS,” says Karen. “We credit the wonderful faculty and staff with giving our children a solid foundation for learning and instilling in them core Quaker values. Tom and I enjoyed wonderful friendships with our fellow parents, too, that have continued to this day.”
Their most recent decision to make a gift of a paid-up life insurance policy was made to have an impact on the school financially in the future. With Newtown Friends as the named beneficiary, the school will receive the proceeds as part of the Burooys’ estate. The gift will be added to the school’s endowment, allowing NFS to further its mission. “When I realized we had a life insurance policy that we no longer needed, it was an easy decision to make an additional gift to the school,” explains Karen. “You don’t need to use cash to make a gift to NFS. You can give an asset that can help the school.”
“We give in appreciation of the wonderful foundation NFS gave to our children, and a desire to make that experience available to the next generation of students.” - Karen and Tom Buroojy
