Annual Fund
Revenue from tuition alone does not cover the cost of educating a child at Trinity School.
In fact, 15% of every child’s Trinity experience is paid for by philanthropic dollars; only 85% is covered by tuition. These numbers underscore the importance of a successful Annual Fund.
Tax-deductible gifts to the Annual Fund directly support the teachers and students. Contributions allow Trinity to create and expand learning opportunities through enhancements to the classrooms, upgraded technology, and increased professional development opportunities, to name a few.
Parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty and staff, friends, corporations, foundations, and trustees support the Annual Fund. Each year, more than 90% of parents contribute to the Annual Fund with 100% participation by the faculty and Board of Trustees. Parent, Board, and faculty participation are extremely important as the participation levels demonstrate the vitality of the School community when Foundations and other outside donors are considering Trinity for grants.
