Annual Giving
Roland Park Country School has remained at the forefront of women’s education for more than a century. Our girls and, now, our preschool aged boys are exceptionally well-prepared for their future academic, personal and professional successes.
In order to provide an extraordinary educational experience, the School relies on the tremendous generosity of its community; supporters who share our passion for educating the next generation. It is only through contributions to our annual fund that we are able to ensure that our students have access to the resources and opportunities that a superior education requires. Every gift of every size makes an impact on the lives of every student, every day.
What is the Annual Giving Campaign?
Annual Giving is the top fundraising priority of Roland Park Country School as it bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. The School is vigilant in its efforts to reduce pressure on tuition dollars, even as it maintains innovative and challenging programming, superior faculty, and a deeply personal investment in each student. RPCS uses interest income from endowments and its annual fund to secure the operating budget. Voluntary contributions are, therefore, vitally important.
What does a gift to the Campaign do?
Since the Annual Fund supports our daily operation, a gift to the Annual Giving Campaign has an immediate and tangible impact on what the School is able to accomplish. It is a powerful endorsement of our mission and all the children whom we serve.
Why should I contribute?
Roland Park has been recognized both nationally and locally for its leadership role at the forefront of girls’ education. Our stellar educators, our championship teams, our commitment to technology, our innovations, and our traditions all depend on your support. We trust that our students deserve an outstanding institution that will foster their strength, ignite their creativity, challenge their curiosity, and nurture their compassion. Your contribution helps us to keep that promise every day at Roland Park Country School.
How important is my participation?
Every gift of every size truly does make a difference. Your contribution is a thank you to the dedicated teachers who give of themselves every day and it is a vote of confidence in the students we graduate each year. It is a signal to foundations and corporations, whom we approach for large gifts, that you are a full partner in the learning that takes place. It protects a legacy for all of our alumnae, now and for years to come. But most of all it ensures that every Roland Parker has the tools that she needs to make this school year extraordinary.
