Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is our primary fundraising effort that directly impacts faculty, programs, facilities and students.

The Annual Fund is your opportunity to write one check each year to help provide essential unrestricted dollars necessary for school enhancements not covered by tuition. Tuition covers just 88% of our school’s annual operating budget. Without the Annual Fund to help us balance our budget, the school would need to hold numerous smaller fundraisers throughout the school calendar. We choose to ask you to commit to one yearly gift.

To assist our teachers in providing an innovative learning environment for our children, we conduct this fundraising campaign annually. Each year a dollar goal is set, but another principal objective for this campaign is focused on 100% parent participation. This commitment from our Raleigh School families communicates to other donors that parents feel the time their children spend here has great value.

Gifts are received from current parents, grandparents, Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, alumni parents and friends. Everyone is able to donate at different levels; we encourage you to contribute at a level which is meaningful for you and your family. All gifts are appreciated and will directly result in enhancing the educational experience for all of our children.
