Annual Fund
Why Support the Annual Fund?
- The Annual Fund helps reduce the gap between tuition and fess and the actual cost of providing services to students.
- Each generation of students benefits from the generation that preceded it, and it is the role of today's families to lay the groundwork for future generations. Your gift will uphold Kingsbury's longtime tradition of stewardship.
- Contributions to the Annual Fund are tax-deductible and can assist with lowering your tax liability.
- Every gift counts - regardless of the size of your gift, you can take pride in knowing that you are participating in upholding Kingsbury standards of excellence.
- Continued support of the Annual Fund will help ensure immediate needs are always met.
How Can I Get Involved?
Contributions of any size are welcome and will make a difference in the life of every Kingsbury student. Many companies match employee and retiree charitable contributions. Please check with your employer to find out if your contribution to Kingsbury can be doubled or tripled in value.
At the heart of the Kingsbury community is a tradition of service. The Annual Fund provides one of many volunteer opportunities available to the community. The Advancement committee members organize mailings, write personal notes, and serve as ambassadors for the effort. Volunteers help us reach the School’s goal each year. Please contact our Communications Associate, Elizabeth Conway, at 202.545.2415 or if you are interested in volunteering.
