Annual Fund

Other Giving & Investment

Annual Report

The Annual Fund is the School's number one fundraising priority. The Annual Fund provides critical support to the School's operating budget by offsetting expenses not covered by tuition and fees. Gifts to the Fund directly and immediately benefit each student and faculty member as well as every program on campus. The annual fund may also be the vehicle by which certain educational initiatives are accomplished.

The 2011-2012 Annual Fund will begin on October 15^th, 2011. The first centerpiece event, “Grands’ Day,” is on November 22, 2011. Another event that supports Annual Fund is the big “B.A.S.H.” in February. This is a themed evening event of fun, food, and music with a live auction of class projects specifically designed for B.A.S.H. (Building A Scholastic Heritage). The goal of Annual Fund is 100% participation for all school constituencies. No gift is too small as participation is the key!

Here are some important facts about the annual fund:

Tuition and fees cover approximately 70% of the cost of educating a child at Colleton Prep. The remaining 30% is supplemented by unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund, Capital Campaign, as well as by other revenues.

The Annual Fund supports financial aid and can help the Prep community to more closely reflect the "real world", exposing children to the many benefits of social and economic diversity.

To attract and retain the finest and most committed teachers, Prep must provide a competitive compensation package. Annual Fund contributions reinforce to our faculty that we all value their unparalleled role in educating our students.
The annual fund takes the “stress” out of the operating budget.
