Annual Fund

Gifts to the RCDS Annual Fund are unrestricted, providing a flexible funding resource that helps our school to meet operational needs throughout the year.  Annual giving contributions have an immediate impact, contributing close to 10% of the RCDS annual budget.  Participation is important to us and all gifts, both large and small, help us to maintain the quality programs and dedicated faculty that are the core of an RCDS education.

Tuition in independent schools is not designed to cover all expenses; at RCDS, the shortfall is approximately $1500 per child.  Annual giving helps to bridge this gap, providing programs, materials, and some of the "extras" such as Smart Boards, equipment for 10 athletic teams, and multi-media technology.

The continued success of our Annual Fund is due in large part to the tireless efforts of our many parent and alumni volunteers.  For more information about supporting the Annual Fund or becoming a volunteer, please contact Joanna Cambareri in the Development office at jcambareri@rcds.org.
