Annual Fund
2009-2010 Goal: $800,000
(Gifts made July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010)
Park Tudor's Annual Fund supports the school's operating needs by subsidizing tuition income. Tuition income only covers about 69 percent of the true cost of an education at our school.
In order to make a Park Tudor education accessible for as many students as possible, the school must rely on endowment income and financial support from parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni and friends. These gifts make up the gap between operating expenses and tuition revenue. They go to work immediately to support programs in academics, the arts, libraries, technology, faculty and staff benefits, and professional development.
