Annual Fund
Click here to make a contribution online:
The Annual Fund is an important
part of nearly every independent, not-for-profit
school across America. Because tuition
alone does not completely cover annual operating
expenses, the purpose of the Annual Fund is to
raise the money needed to fill the gap between
tuition income and yearly operating expenses.
Each year, beginning in November
and concluding at the end of January, the Annual
Fund appeal is made to our entire school community
of parents, past parents, alumni, and friends. This
fund provides unrestricted and immediately available
funds to the operating budget that enable us
to provide the best educational programs for
our children, buy library books, art supplies,
and sports equipment, support faculty salaries,
increase financial aid, and make improvements
to the physical plant. It also allows us
to maintain our very high teacher-student ratio,
offer a broad range of extracurricular programs,
finance day and overnight trips, and provide
professional development opportunities to our
faculty and staff.
Contributions to the
Annual Fund are tax-deductible and crucial to
the on-going health of the school. The
Studio School community has a strong tradition
of giving financial gifts, as well as those of
time, talents and active participation in the
life of the school. The School deeply appreciates
all donations and encourages every family to
participate to the best of their ability. We
aim for 100% parent involvement.
Make a donation
by the end of December, to be sure that your
gift qualifies for a calendar-year deduction
(please make sure that your envelope is postmarked
by December 31st).
