The Annual Fund is The Oakridge School's primary medium for supporting the school's operating needs each year and the most fundamental way you can support Oakridge's mission. This annual appeal raises unrestricted current-use dollars that help fund the many features that keep Oakridge extraordinary – including the outstanding educational curriculum, a low student/faculty ratio, faculty and staff retention and for the maintenance of our campus. Annual Giving efforts begin in the fall and continue through May 30 of the following year.

Why give?

• Tuition covers only 88% of the operating budget. The most cost effective way to help us bridge the gap between tuition revenue and per-student cost and take advantage of a tax deductible giving option is to make a cash or stock gift to our Annual Fund.

• Annual Fund gifts directly impact the quality of education current students receive.

• Whether you’re a parent, an alumni, faculty or staff member or friend of Oakridge the Annual Fund is a significant way to show how much you value the excellent education and service and leadership skills Oakridge continues to provide young people.

• By giving generously, you set an example to others. A successful Annual Fund not only impacts the school but also increases endowment giving, capital gifts and community support.
