Gateway Giving
Charleston Day's Annual Fund
An independent school’s annual fund is a critical component of the yearly operating budget. At Charleston Day School, our annual fund, the Gateway Giving Fund, provides the School with flexible dollars that support numerous priorities like an all-inclusive tuition plan, competitive compensation for our faculty and staff, financial aid, technology updates, campus security, and more.
Last year, over 425 donors invested in Gateway Giving including 83% of current parents, 98% of faculty and staff, and 100% of the Board of Trustees. One important aspect of Gateway Giving is that gifts are put to immediate use to support life on campus right now. This is why we ask our community to contribute every year.
“The CDS student receives a strong, well-balanced education and becomes one who has community awareness. They are comfortable with public speaking and graduate well prepared for their next avenue of academics. My gift today becomes one for our future and will continue to be an asset that makes an impact. By contributing to Gateway Giving, I invest in the future of CDS by educating our children for their tomorrows.”
