These experiences – and hundreds more – are possible, thanks to the continued
success of Roland Park’s Annual Giving Campaigns. As we finish our First
Semester and start a new one in January, we hope that we can count on your
support! If you have not yet made a gift to the 2011-2012 Annual Giving Campaign
and would like to do so, please click here or mail a check to:
The
RPCS Development Office at 5204 Roland Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21210.
Every gift - any size - makes an impact on the lives of every student, every day at RPCS.
Annual Giving
Annual Giving is the top fundraising priority of Roland Park Country School as it touches every aspect of our community.
What is the Annual Giving Campaign?
The Annual Giving Campaign provides 8% of the operating budget and bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. Tuition revenue covers approximately 75% of the operating budget, making yearly voluntary contributions vitally important. Annual Giving and
investment interest from endowments cover the shortfall, allowing Roland Park to provide an extraordinary college preparatory education for its students.
What does a gift to the campaign do?
Annual Giving is the financial cornerstone for sustaining the wonderful faculty and programs that make our School the special place that it is. By making a contribution to Roland Park you are showing your support and vote of confidence in everything the School has to offer and the fantastic experience it provided its alumnae and the positive difference it is making for today’s Roland Parkers.
Why should I contribute?
Today, the unique experiences that define a Roland Park education are being recognized and lauded outside of our immediate community. For over a century, we have been upholding traditions and promoting innovation within our learning environment.
The Baltimore Examiner recently published an article that acknowledged
the School for its leadership role in girls’ education, and we were commended
for achieving a number of “firsts” within Maryland's independent schools.
Thanks to the generosity of the Roland Park donors these achievements were realized.
In order to make sure we remain at the forefront of girls’ education and so that our “firsts” continue, the School relies on
annual support from Trustees, Alumnae, Parents, Parents of Alumnae,
Grandparents, Employees and friends to lead the way and support our girls and
young women. We are grateful to those who have joined together to support Roland Park’s mission to make learning the richest possible experience for our students.
How important is my participation?
When considering a gift, please think about the devoted faculty who teach and mentor our girls and young women, in the classrooms, on the fields and in the arts, music and performing arts studios. Show your support and appreciation for their outstanding efforts!
Every gift of every size matters and makes a difference.
