Annual Fund

 

The annual fund: Mind the gap!

Your Annual Fund contribution today helps unlock infinite potential for your children. The Annual Fund benefits every Cutthroat every year. 

The Annual Fund is an essential component of our fundraising program, and it is vital to Sun Valley Community School’s continued fiscal health. Tuition alone does not support everything that makes Sun Valley Community School the extraordinary place that it is. Because we are committed to keeping tuition down, the gap between tuition and the full cost of each student’s SVCS education is nearly $5,000. Every year, SVCS must raise approximately 5% of its annual operating budget through the Annual Fund to bridge this gap. 

To meet this goal, we ask alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends for a contribution to the Annual Fund. Broad participation in the Annual Fund is a testament to our Cutthroat Community’s commitment to the school and our students. For the last 13 years, 100% of our faculty and the Board of Trustees have contributed to the Annual Fund, a strong signal of their commitment to and belief in our mission. A successful and robust Annual Fund campaign each year delivers a powerful message that the school community is committed to supporting an outstanding Sun Valley Community School experience.

Each and every gift makes a difference in the school's ability to fulfill its mission and provide an excellent education.

One hundred percent participation from faculty, staff, and current families is a key goal of the Annual Fund. Achieving this goal shows a commitment to the growth of our school and to the programs and opportunities these funds provide.
