Each Child, Each Day: Building a Bridge

At Trinity, the Annual Fund enriches each child, each day. The Annual Fund provides an opportunity for parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty and staff to advance the continued excellence of a Trinity education. Tuition covers only 80% of the cost of educating each student therefore support of the Annual Fund is critical to the School as it underwrites a significant part of the budget.

The Annual Fund benefits every facet of the School's operation from faculty salaries and professional development, athletics and technology, to the arts, theatre, and music programs. A gift to the Annual Fund is tax deductible and is the foremost donation we ask of every parent, grandparent, faculty, and friend to support our school.

As an independent Episcopal school, Trinity operates without financial support from a parish or from local, state, and federal governments. The school relies on tuition income and a strong Annual Fund to maintain operations. Each year, it is the Annual Fund that raises money critical to balancing the School's budget.

Although a monetary goal is established each year, the aim of the Annual Fund is for 100% participation from our families, trustees, faculty and staff.

Why is participation so important? Every gift, regardless of size, contributes to the growth and development of Trinity’s students. Your participation is fundamental to assuring a solid financial future for Trinity. High participation is a vote of confidence, a sign that the Trinity community invests in the School and its mission.  This percentage can also have an impact on gifts from outside sources; most foundations consider participation rates before agreeing to donate funds to a school.

Your support of the Annual Fund allows Trinity to stay true to its mission and values by providing an excellent academic experience in a diverse, Christian, and family environment to each child, each day.
