The Annual Fund
Our top priority each year, contributions to the Annual Fund are applied directly to the current-year general operating budget, ensuring Parkside’s ability to continue to build on our whole-child approach. The day-to-day cost of our highly individualized program simply cannot be covered by tuition alone.
Gifts to the Annual Fund make everything at Parkside possible.
We ask everyone in our community to make a gift to Parkside’s Annual Fund that is meaningful to you. We are proud to have achieved 100% parent participation in the Annual Fund nearly every year for the past two decades, and are humbled by the many alumni families, grandparents and friends who include Parkside among their philanthropic priorities. Together, we are truly making a difference for our students with language-based learning challenges.
Recurring Gifts
Making regular recurring gifts to the Annual Fund is a great way to make a larger contribution without the stress of a single large payment. For instance, $250/month for the duration of the school year (September - June) would achieve a $2,500 Classroom Patron leadership gift to the Annual Fund.
Matching Gifts
Matching gifts significantly increase your level of support to Parkside. Many corporations will match employees’ gifts to their schools, often doubling or even tripling your gift. Contact your human resources department to learn about your company’s matching gift policies and procedures. Contact Anthony Kapp for assistance.
It takes a village.
We are proud to have nearly 100% parent participation in the Annual Fund each year, along with strong continuing support from our Alumni community.
Leadership Giving Levels
Leadership gifts start at $2,500 and we ask that everyone in our community be as generous as possible so that we may continue to thrive as a funded school, able to accept students regardless of their family’s ability to pay tuition.
