Trinity Fund

Aim High!

"Reach for Heaven and you get earth thrown in. Reach for earth and you get neither." C.S. Lewis

The Trinity Fund is a part of the school culture each year to raise money for the budget in tax-deductible dollars. This year’s goal is $1,000,000. This is a lofty goal, but it IS within reach. 100% participation from Parents, Trustees, Faculty and Staff is needed to reach our goal. Significant increase in participation from Grandparents, Past Parents, Friends, and Alumni will boost that goal. We will AIM HIGH for the success and future of Trinity School. Thank you for your support,

Why should I give to the Trinity Fund?

The Trinity Fund directly benefits your student/s in the ways listed above. Tuition revenue alone is not enough to sustain the quality of a Trinity education. The Trinity Fund is a non-restricted source of revenue for enriching programs on a yearly basis.

How much should I give?

Only you can decide how much to give. The size of your gift is not what is important. It IS important to participate. When the School approaches foundations and trusts, a significant criterion for awarding grants is the level of support shown by the parent community.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

All contributions are fully tax-deductible according to IRS regulations and may be paid through cash, check, or credit card through online giving.

What is the difference between the Trinity Fund and other fundrising events?

Fundraising events’ proceeds contribute to key initiatives such as scholarships and specific departments of the School.

What is the role of fundraising through the Trinity Parents Association, All Sports Booster Club, and Fine Arts Now Club?

The role of parent organizations is to create community in the school, as well as to support the School through fundraising for endeavors that are above and beyond budgeted needs. All parents are encouraged to join any of the organizations. Every parent is automatically considered to be a part of the Trinity Parents Association.
