There is no better way to make an immediate impact on The Wyndcroft School than to make a gift to The Annual Giving Fund. Your gifts enable the School to meet expenses not covered by tuition and endowment income, and benefit the students and faculty every day. Through Annual Giving, we continually invest in resources and programs that provide all students with a rich educational experience and the opportunities to reach their personal best.

Each year, we ask all members of the Wyndcroft Community—parents, faculty, the board of trustees, alumni, past parents, grandparents, businesses and other friends—to pledge their support to the Annual Giving Fund. With each gift, we can assure classes remain at a size conducive to dynamic interaction between students and faculty, a quality valued by those who select Wyndcroft. The Annual Giving Fund helps provide the resources and programs that allow students to grow in the classroom and through the arts, sports, public speaking and community service.

Over the years, gifts to Annual Giving have helped to support and sustain:

Implementation of technology improvements including the installation of interactive whiteboards, webcams, and one to one Chromebooks and IPads for our Kindergarten to 8th grade students.
Upgrades to technology systems including installation of wireless access points throughout the building.
Construction of playground areas for our early education programs and another for 1st to 8th grade students.
Completion of the installation of air-conditioning in all the classrooms in the school.
Installation of a new camera security system with all doors under electronic surveillance and card access only.
Continuing education opportunities for our faculty and staff.
Our athletic program with additional seasonal sports offerings.
Music programs with the addition of Orff instruments.
Theater programs with the upgrade of the auditorium light and sound system.

Your fully tax-deductible contribution may be made anytime between July 1st and June 30th and will go right to work supporting Wyndcroft’s mission.

Frequently Asked Questions About Annual Giving

Why should I give to Wyndcroft's Annual Giving Fund? Doesn't tuition cover all expenses?

For our school (and the vast majority of independent schools) tuition covers approximately 90% of the full cost of educating each child. The Annual Giving Fund helps make up the difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of operating the school. It helps with teachers’ salaries, technology, financial aid and our arts and athletic programs. Each child within the school benefits from these gifts.

What is the Wyndcroft Annual Giving Fund, and how is it different from other fundraising at the school?

Annual Giving Fund gifts contribute to the school’s operating budget. They are unrestricted, which means they can be used in whatever way the school needs most. These gifts allow the school to respond quickly to needs and have an immediate and noticeable impact on the day-to-day life of Wyndcroft for all students from EC to 8th grade.

The Annual Giving Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating students. This means that the Annual Giving Fund supports things like:

Faculty salaries
Financial aid
Technology for classrooms
Arts & Athletics

Why is 100% parent participation in the Annual Giving Fund so important?

Wyndcroft is a vibrant community and we all benefit from the Annual Giving Fund. High participation is a sign that parents support the school’s mission and we strive for 100% participation. In addition, the school seeks large gifts from foundation and corporate donors. Those donors are more likely to consider support when they see that the people directly benefiting from the organization have shown their commitment.

What size gift should I make?

I pay full tuition. Why should I make an additional gift on top of that?

I already give in other ways, such as by contrbuting to the endowment, through the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program, and by attending fundraising events like the Auction. Why should I make a gift to the Annual Giving Fund as well?

Funds raised through the Annual Giving Fund are unrestricted and can be used for whatever the school needs most at any given time. They can support needs across the school quickly, and help Wyndcroft stay competitive with teachers’ salaries, classroom technology, and more.

Wyndcroft values all gifts, whether unrestricted or restricted. However, only gifts to the Annual Giving Fund count towards our parent participation goal of 100%.
