Annual Giving
Proceeds from the School One Annual Fund are applied to the yearly operating budget that covers such expenses as faculty salaries, building maintenance, financial aid, equipment and classroom supplies. Gifts restricted to a particular purpose, such as the purchase of software, financial aid, or landscaping are applied to the annual budget for that dedicated purpose. Pledges may be made and paid over the course of the year.
