Because the NYC independent schools, both large and small, are unable to meet the needs of their schools by tuition alone, annual funds are an integral part of their financial life. We are not unique.
The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each child. Donations to the Annual Fund allow us to retain our beloved teachers and provide important professional development. It ensures the quality of our programs, helps provide tuition assistance to eligible families and supports the unforeseen day-to-day needs making a difference in the lives of all our children. Parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, and staff have made tax-deductible donations ranging from $5 to $50,000. This collective community effort provides critical revenue for our operating budget.
Our goal is to have 100% participation. Every gift, large or small, helps us reach that goal. By coming together we can ensure that our school continues to flourish and to bring the joy of learning to our children for generations to come.
