The Fund for Country Day
Country Day's Top Giving Priority
The Fund for Country Day is the cornerstone of our School's annual fundraising efforts and helps bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating a student and tuition.
Every gift truly counts—no matter the size. Each year, donors provide over $700,000 of flexible, unrestricted, budget-relieving dollars. These funds allow SCDS to respond to ever-changing circumstances and to say “YES!” to new opportunities for students and faculty as they arise during the school year.
