The Fund for Ravenscroft

“I give to Ravenscroft not because of what my child is learning right now, but because of who she will one day become.”

ANONYMOUS, P ’33

Every Raven, Every Day. The Fund For Ravenscroft is our school’s largest and most important annual fundraising effort.

Gifts made to the Fund from our community of parents, grandparents, alumni and parents of alumni allow the promise of a Ravenscroft education to be experienced by Every Raven, Every Day — whether in the classroom, the studio or theater, or on the field.

Students across the campus benefit from these vital resources that enable the faculty to instruct and inspire all entrusted to them.

The generosity of the Ravenscroft community is as important today as it was in years past. All gifts honor this tradition and help our Ravens soar.

ACADEMICS

“Our goal is for students to identify real-world problems, explore ways to solve these problems, and create solutions. The generous support of donors has made it possible for us to inspire the learning and critical thinking that our young innovators engage in daily!”

DANNY CARLSON, INNOVATION, DESIGN AND ENGINEERING TEACHER

ARTS

“Our child, Ik Ekpunobi ’21, played multiple musical instruments including piano, different percussion instruments and cello. We were delighted Ravenscroft afforded Ik the opportunity to continue honing his skills and to share his talents. We are happy to continue supporting Ravenscroft as a way of investing in the school and to highlight the importance of the arts as part of a wellrounded education. Supporting Ravenscroft enriches all members of our community.”

FACULTY

“Since joining the Ravenscroft family when our eldest daughter enrolled in sixth grade, we have been so pleased with the strong academic foundation and focus on building well-rounded young people. We chose to support the annual fund because we have been overwhelmed by the level of dedication on the part of the faculty and staff in providing a quality education during a very challenging time for both in-person or at-home learners.”

ERICA AND BARRETT RANKIN, P’25, ’27, ’29

TUITION

COST OF A RAVENSCROFT EDUCATION

In all independent schools, there is a difference between tuition and the actual cost of educating a student. Gifts to the Fund For Ravenscroft help to bridge that gap.

ATHLETICS

“I made a gift in memory of Coach Cherie Fowler because of the deep and lasting impact she made on my life. She cared about me and all her students beyond the grades that we got or what we accomplished. The lessons that I learned and the example that she set for me have stuck ... and that’s why I made a gift in her honor.”
