NEW LEADERSHIP THRESHOLD

Twenty-five years ago, Roland Park Country School established an Annual Giving leadership recognition program beginning at the $1,000 level. Through the years, RPCS has benefited greatly from the generosity of its leadership donors who provide essential financial support and endorse the mission of the School in a visible way.

Today, the costs associated with a Roland Park Country School education continue to increase dramatically; however, the threshold for leadership giving has remained constant, even as the purchasing power of that level of gift has decreased significantly over the last quarter century. For this reason, the Board of Trustees has decided to increase the base line for leadership giving membership from $1,000 to $1,500, beginning this year with the 2005-2006 Annual Giving Campaign.

Additionally, due to the outstanding generosity of our School community, we have added a $25,000 giving society to our recognition levels in order to acknowledge such exceptional support.

Roland Park Country School remains committed to providing the very best opportunities for its students. We are grateful for the generosity of the RPCS family, over many generations, and hope that members of the School’s leadership will want to continue in that tradition.

NEW DONOR RECOGNITION LEVELS

The Dushane Society ~ $25,000 and up

The highest Annual Giving recognition level is named for Nanna Duke Dushane, who was a dedicated and determined educator. As Roland Park Country School’s first headmistress from 1912 – 1922, Miss Dushane served as an exemplary role model for her colleagues, her students and her extended family, and positioned the School as a leader in the education of girls and young women.

The Chapman Circle ~ $1,500 - $2,499

The new leadership giving threshold is named for Bertha Chapman, the School’s founder and principal from 1901 – 1912. Miss Chapman set high standards for the School and for the students within her care. She was a progressive thinker who led the School with distinction during its formative years.
