ram family fund

Orangewood's annual giving program, the Ram Family Fund, plays a vital role in providing unparalleled opportunities for learning and discovery in academics, the arts, athletics, and other student experiences. Whether meeting a guest author, working on the set for an upcoming main stage production, practicing under stadium lights with new athletic gear, or learning new material from top faculty in their field of study, OCS students are encouraged to reach their full potential as Christian scholars, artists, and athletes as a result of the Ram Family Fund.

Gifts to the Ram Family Fund provide unrestricted financial resources that are a critical source of funding for the school's ongoing operations not covered by tuition. The fund is the primary way for parents, faculty, alumni, grandparents, and friends to help sustain the special characteristics that set Orangewood apart. The success of the Ram Family Fund reflects the spirit of pride and encouragement as each generation of Rams preserves, strengthens, and passes on its experiences to others.

Donors who make annual gifts totaling $2,500 or greater for at least 5 years consecutively are honored as members of the Society for Christian Excellence. These gifts continue a tradition of annual giving that has a rich history of supporting exceptional faculty, a diverse curriculum, student academic scholarships, and co-curricular offerings.

The Gold Circle Society is a distinction honoring current and retired faculty and staff members who have made a longterm commitment to Orangewood through their service and generosity. Recognition in the Gold Circle Society is extended to current and retired faculty and staff who have given to the Ram Family Fund for at least 5 years consecutively or 7 years cumulatively and who give in the current year. The investment of time, service, and financial support from Orangewood's own is inspiring to the entire school community.

Volunteers play an important role in Orangewood's education. Not only are they a great resource for faculty and staff, but they serve as a solid support to the school community.

Throughout the year, there are many ways for OCS parents and grandparents to volunteer their time to support the work of the school.

From serving as a lower school room parent to an upper school grade-level parent, helping to chaperone a student trip, serving at special student gatherings, helping to plan Orangewood's annual gala, selling tickets at a game or play, assisting with coaching a team, guest speaking in a class, serving on a parentled committee, or working in our lower school's book fair, there are countless ways to connect your interests and time to positively contribute to the wonderful work at Orangewood.

If interested in volunteering, please contact your student's administration.
