Raising money can be pretty challenging for a modest school like ours. But then I remind myself we are embarking on this annual fund drive together and that makes me feel better. Jane, our Admissions Director and former Development Director, told me that in the recent past she blew away a room full of school fundraisers by remarking that at our little school over 90% of the community of parents and alumni gave to the Annual Fund, and 100% of staff. And the room full of fundraisers laughed and said, “RICH folk, huh?”
Nope. Definitely not that, but generous as all heck.
There are many ways to contribute to The Center School
Monthly Donation
Perhaps you are a sustaining member of your local public radio station. Or perhaps your Netflix subscription is on autopay. Why not do that with your donation to the Center School, too? Think about the impact of regular giving to the school. As one monthly donor says “I like to be reminded – every month – that my school is running because of my support.”
Memorial or Honor Gift
Arrange for your gift to be made in memory of a loved one, or in honor of a special event or holiday. You may request that we send a letter notifying someone of your gift.
