The Annual Fund is the School’s most important ongoing fundraising activity. Like most independent schools, tuition revenues at RCS do not cover the entire cost of running the School. Tuition provides approximately 81% of the annual operating budget with the Annual Fund supplying 8%. The School relies on this source of income in order to meet the essential needs of students and faculty. This year, the difference between tuition revenues and total operating expenses amounts to approximately $5,600 per child. Our Annual Fund goal this year is $1,200,000 and 100% community participation. Last year, we surpassed $1,200,000 and had almost 90% participation — remarkable results in a remarkable year — thanks to an incredibly engaged parent volunteer organization. If you would like to make a gift, please take a moment to fill out the enclosed pledge envelope and send it back to us with your contribution. If you have questions about the Annual Fund, please contact Susie Danziger at 914-244-1292 or susie_danziger@rcsny.org
