“Members of the Belmont Day community give in countless ways,
creating daily opportunities that inspire and challenge our children.”
They give of their time, expertise, connections, generosity, encouragement, and support. This amazing community is comprised of parents, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty, staff, grandparents, and friends, each having a vital role. Because of the endless contributions made by our community, Belmont Day can have talented faculty, innovative curriculum, a dynamic campus, and a culturally and economically diverse community.
Generosity is the best investment and it is boundless at Belmont Day School.
It is truly humbling to have 455 donors choose our school as their philanthropic priority. Last year’s giving results were an incredible display of support and generosity as our community exceeded the Belmont Day Annual Fund goal, raising $561,241. We are so thankful for the 95% current parent participation, followed by 100% of the board of trustees and faculty, which made our goal a reality. We are proud of Belmont Day’s strong culture of giving that has ensured that we can continue to deliver an education that inspires and challenges our students. The annual fund is a significant aspect of the financial health of Belmont Day, bridging the gap between revenues and expenses in educating our children every day. The Belmont Day Annual Fund consists of unrestricted gifts given every academic year by the entire school community to help meet needs in the yearly operating budget. After tuition and other revenue sources, we have left a gap of nearly $5,000 to cover the cost of a student’s education. Gifts to the annual fund provide financial support to bridge that gap. Thank you for your support. The strength of our community is the reason for our success. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteers, including our supportive trustees and committee members. Your hard work is so appreciated. Sincerely, Catalina Guillermety P ’21, ’25 Development Committee Chair BELMONT DAY SCHOOL | Annual Report 2018-19, page 17
