Capital Giving

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 Roland Park Country School Campus Master Plan, including all three phases, ensures the sustainability of RPCS excellence for generations to come.”

-Jeffrey H. Seibert
Past President, RPCS Board of Trustees

Roland Park Country School Campus Master Plan

Phase One: Building the Spirit, 1994
Created the Macfarlane Arts Center, the Sinex Theater, the Nancy Roche Drama Wing and the Faissler Library.

Phase Two: Centennial Campaign, 2001
Built the Science Wing, the Smith Middle School, the Killebrew Library, the Lower School Multipurpose Room, the Oros Technology Center and the Dining Hall.

Phase Three: A Place in Our Hearts, 2007
Constructed the RPCS Athletic Complex and increased endowment support for faculty compensation and student financial assistance.

The new RPCS Athletic Complex was completed in September of 2008 and has been awarded LEED Gold certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.) It houses 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, a horizontal climbing wall, a fitness center and a child care facility. The complex also boasts two synthetic turf fields and a newly landscaped parking lot for employees and students. The project was designed by Bowie Gridley Architects as an environmentally responsible “green” building both inside and out, and was constructed by Roy Kirby & Sons.

The School's Endowment has received commitments of outright and deferred gifts in excess of $4.8 million. These funds provide much needed non-tuition dollars which are directed to financial assistance, faculty compensation and professional development.

• 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.

• 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.
