The Country Day Fund
THE 2024-25 COUNTRY DAY FUND
Month of Giving
October 1-31
Investing in this area ensures our educators have access to continued learning, cutting-edge training, and resources that enable them to inspire and guide students at the highest level.
This fund supports advancements in technology, ensuring students have access to innovative tools and resources that prepare them for a rapidly evolving, tech-driven world.
Donations to this fund provide financial support to students, making a Country Day education attainable for all, regardless of their economic background.
Supporting this category gives the school the flexibility to allocate funds where they are needed most throughout the year. It reflects the trust our community places in us to make strategic decisions that enhance the educational experience and meet unforeseen challenges as they arise.
By supporting this initiative, you help create a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable school environment, promoting cultural understanding and equal opportunities for all students.
Your contribution helps provide state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and programs that promote physical health, teamwork, and fair play across all grade levels.
Each year, all members of our community are asked to make a tax-deductible gift to the Country Day Fund. The Country Day Fund contributes to the current year’s operating budget and helps pay for the everyday essentials our school needs to maintain and enhance our small class sizes, robust programming and world-class faculty.
Donors can choose to designate their gift to the particular area of the operational budget that they find most meaningful.
The Country Day Fund not only has an immediate impact on our students, it is our vehicle to honor and perpetuate the deep tradition of philanthropy at Country Day. Gifts of every size from faculty, staff, parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni and students make a difference and shout our Country Day pride!
Should designated contributions exceed a designation’s budgeted need, the school will direct the gift to the area of greatest need. The Country Day Fund opens on July 1 each year, and all payments are due by June 30 the following year.
