PARENT INVOLVEMENT Parents are an integral part of the Tampa Prep community.

Through the Tampa Prep Parents Alliance (TPPA), parents partner with the school to volunteer and provide support for activities, events and programs.

The partnership between Prep and our families is vital for student success.

We encourage you to engage in some of the committees and special interest groups on the following pages, and please feel free to reach out to your grade-level or division representatives if you have any questions or need guidance this first year!

To stay current on all TPPA events (many of which will be virtual this year) parents are welcome to attend monthly TPPA Zoom meetings (information for these will be in the weekly newsletter). For updates, be sure to read the TPPA section of the Thursday newsletter, and view the Parent Portal calendar.

SUPPORT TAMPA PREP Each year, generous donations from our school community help us maintain our outstanding educational experience.

While tuition pays for the essential elements needed for a top-tier learning environment, philanthropy allows us to be agile, innovative thought leaders by providing teachers and students with the resources they need to discover their next passion or talent. There are three opportunities to support Tampa Prep, and we are grateful that many of our families contribute in more than one way.

Annual Fund The Annual Fund is the School’s primary fundraising endeavor. It is our hope that, as a member of the community, you will participate in this fundraising initiative at least once throughout the academic year in a way that is meaningful to you. Some donors choose to set up a monthly donation as a matter of convenience and greater impact. The Annual Fund directly invests in every program, department, student and faculty member.

In addition, we strive to achieve high levels of parent and alumni participation because each gift is an endorsement of our mission and the educational experience we provide. We encourage everyone to make Tampa Prep a philanthropic priority at whatever level they are able, whether that be $5 or $50,000. Our Terrapin Society recognizes those individuals who give $1,000 or more annually, by celebrating them at an end-of-year reception (TBD). That being said, every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference. Each gift has a profound and immediate impact on the Tampa Prep experience and is truly appreciated.

Golf Outing Our annual Golf Outing is TBD this year. Traditionally there are multiple sponsorship opportunities, and each level has different perks. Individuals and foursomes can play. For more information on the event as well as sponsorship and participant packages email events@tampaprep.org.

Gala Our annual Tampa Prep Gala will be March 6, 2021, time and location TBD. Sponsorship opportunities will be available for those who are able to support the event while gaining visibility for your business or special recognition for your family.

SUPPORT TAMPA PREP Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is the Annual Fund necessary?

Tampa Prep is a nonprofit organization that operates without financial support from local or federal taxes. The School relies on tuition, annual giving, endowment, and auxiliary income (income from summer camps and facility rentals) to operate and continually improve.

Q. Will my gift really make a difference?

Absolutely! Every gift plays a part in Tampa Prep’s success. Overall donor participation reveals how the school is valued by its constituents, and your gift is an expression of gratitude to the teachers who guide and mentor our students. The collective generosity of our community allows us to provide additional resources for our classrooms and athletic and extracurricular programs each year. Your support is truly appreciated.

Q. How can I make a gift to Tampa Prep?

There are many ways to make a gift to the school.

• You may mail or drop off a check, or give with a credit card online at https://www.tampaprep.org/give • Gifts of appreciated securities can have beneficial tax implications for the donor by providing an additional deduction while alleviating your capital gains tax obligation. Talk to your accountant about whether this option makes sense for you.

• Ask your HR Department if your company matches charitable gifts and double your support!

• Leave your mark by purchasing a special paver inscribed with the message of your choice. Pay tribute to your family, an alum, faculty member, student, athlete or anyone to whom you wish to give a permanent place in Tampa Prep history.

• There are a variety of ways to help ensure Tampa Prep’s future through a planned or estate gift such as bequest, charitable gift annuity, or charitable trust.

• Become a monthly donor by setting up a recurring gift. This allows you to maximize your contribution while having a limited impact on your budget.

Q. Is my gift tax deductible?

Tampa Prep is a 501(c)(3) organization as determined by the IRS, and as such all gifts qualify for a charitable deduction in the year of payment as allowable by law.

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT: Ki Perry, Director of Development | 813-251-8481 x4023 or Jake DeWeerd, Director of the Annual Fund | 813-251-8481 x4021 You may also visit the Support section of our website to learn more about how you can make an impact at Tampa Prep. page 9
