The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is one of our most important sources of revenue. Tuition covers only 75% of the total cost of a student’s education. Gifts to the Annual Fund bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of an All Saints’ education.
Every year, Annual Fund gifts help the school invest in our incredible faculty, maintain a low student-teacher ratio even with overall enrollment growth, enhance our classroom resources, create new programs and professional development opportunities, and continue All Saints’ commitment to providing high-quality, student-centered education to all families.
This year, Annual Fund gifts will help fund specific projects including School-wide Playground Updates, and School Safety and Security.
What is the Annual Fund?
What are the Projects?
Outdoor play is essential to the well-being of our students. Your gift will help to reimagine a portion of the back playground to a soccer field. The construction of a new turf soccer field on the upper playground will enhance daily kinetic activity while providing a multi-faceted athletic facility.
Increasing the level of physical activity gives students the opportunity to unleash their imaginations, interact with others, and move their bodies!
Project Cost: $50,000
