Financial Overview
In the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2024, you and 548 parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends contributed $4,500,000 in philanthropy to Rippowam Cisqua School. These contributions stand as a resounding endorsement of the school’s mission to enrich the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and the wider community. Through your unwavering support, we have created innovative programs and transformative experiences that empower our students with the essential tools and confidence to flourish, thrive, and succeed.
Dear Friends,
As I look through our long list of supporters and reflect on the past year, I’d like to share how deeply grateful I am for your generous time, talent, and treasure, which makes an immediate and lasting difference. When you contribute to the lives of our students and teachers, you directly foster the vibrant and nurturing learning environment that can be felt daily in the hallways and around campus at RCS. The relationships between faculty, staff, students, and parents — built on trust, care, and individualized attention — are the heart of what makes our school so special. Our faculty engage closely with each student, guiding them not only academically but also in their personal growth. Your exceptional commitment time and again allows us to continue providing these transformational experiences. Thank you for all the ways in which you care for us and help us thrive.
Warmly,
Daphne Viders Director of Development
Thank
our donors. Every gift received, regardless of the size, helps sustain us. Your philanthropy has an immediate impact here that is felt not only today but for years to come.

Endowed and Designated Gifts
Endowed funds are established through major gifts to provide longterm resources for students, faculty, and programming. When a gift is made to the endowment, the principal gift is never spent and is instead invested, enabling the gift to generate income in perpetuity. Donors have created restricted endowment funds at RCS to support some of the following priorities.
Ninth Grade Parent Gift Fund
This fund was established by the Class of 2005 to support new learning opportunities for ninth graders while fostering an appreciation and continued love of learning at RCS.
Master Teaching Fund
This fund is an initiative created by the Alumni Association Board to recognize
faculty and staff at their milestone years of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and beyond for their service to the community. This grant was set up to encourage faculty and staff pursuit of interests while inviting their fresh insights back into our school community.
The Starr Foundation Fund
This designated gift was established in 1998 to help ensure that RCS is more
The Advancement Office is honored to partner with Rippowam Cisqua School’s engaged community, and we are so pleased to publish this Report on Giving to gratefully recognize all contributions recorded between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024.

accessible to families with financial needs — especially those who otherwise would not be able to afford an RCS education for their children.
The
Stephen Sanger Memorial Lecture Fund
This fund was established by the family in honor of Stephen Sanger ’60, who died at the age of 19 serving his country in the Vietnam War. Stephen’s brother Alexander ’61 worked together with his family and RCS in the fall of 2012 to establish a lecture program. Through the generosity of the Sanger family, one of the school’s Foundations of Education lectures bears the Stephen Sanger name each year. The purpose of the FES lectures is to invite outside experts to speak with members of our community about parenting, child development, and lifelong learning.
The Barbara Vincent Fund
The Barbara M. Vincent P’79, ’81, ’84, GP’07, ’08, ’14, ’16, ’16, ’18 Memorial Fund, founded by her family as a way to honor of her, was created to provide graduate study grants to RCS faculty and associate teachers. Barbara, an RCS alumni parent, was the first female Board chair, serving between 1982 and 1985. She was also a principal of Educator’s Ally, where she counseled many teachers and administrators about their jobs and careers, and was particularly instrumental in developing intern teaching programs in a number of independent schools. The fund supports beginning teachers and awards scholarship grants annually to intern teachers who wish to begin their graduate studies. In fall 1993, Barbara was described by the late Dick Wade as “an extraordinary leader who held a clear vision.”
