WHAT IS CAPITAL GIVING AT
RPCS?
Capital Giving at RPCS supports the School and its mission
by providing funds for building and endowment for faculty
compensation, student financial assistance and general
purposes. The School is pleased to announce a $25
million dollar capital campaign, A Place in our Hearts,
to build a new athletic complex – the third and final
stage of a Campus Master Plan begun in the early 1990s. In
addition, campaign proceeds will seek endowment for faculty compensation
and student financial assistance. The new athletic
complex will house three teaching gyms and one main competition
court, additional classroom and meeting space, locker rooms
for RPCS students, visiting teams and officials, a suspended
running track, a rowing tank for crew (the first of
its kind in a Maryland high school), a horizontal climbing
wall, a fitness center and a daycare facility for employee
children 0-2 years of age. RPCS will also have two synthetic
turf fields and a newly landscaped parking lot for employees
and students. The project designed by Bowie Gridley
Architects as an environmentally responsible “green” building
both inside and out, with construction by Roy Kirby & Sons,
is expected to be completed in August 2008. Fundraising
will continue through 2010.
A variety of gifts may be used to support capital giving
at Roland Park Country School. Gifts with an immediate
benefit to the School include cash and appreciated
securities. Substantial pledges may be paid over a period
of years. Gifts with a deferred benefit to the School are
described under Planned Giving.
In recognition of capital gifts from generous contributors,
Roland Park Country School is pleased to offer named
gift opportunities at different levels.
Endowed funds at Roland Park Country School
have been established through substantial gifts for a specific
purpose, sometimes in honor of or in memory of a person
for whom the fund is named. The minimum gift to create an
endowed fund is currently $50,000.
The Alumnae Memorial Wall in Ward House
lists the names of alumnae in whose memory a total of $5,000
or more has been donated to the School.
