All Saints Episcopal Day School enjoys a rich tradition of philanthropy that fuels our community’s quest for greatness. As is common with independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of an All Saints education, and fundraising is required to fill this gap. The tax-deductible gifts we receive make it possible for us to attract and retain high quality teaching professionals, keep our historic buildings in tip-top shape, provide scholarships, and maintain our state-of-the-art technology program, among other fundamentals.

What is the Fund for All Saints?

The Fund for All Saints (Annual Fund) is our yearly appeal for contributions that support the rich and diverse learning environment that All Saints provides. As in most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover all costs associated with running the school. Donations to the Fund close this gap and make it possible to achieve greatness.

While our Spring Auction helps us launch new initiatives at the School, The Fund for All Saints helps make those initiatives sustainable from year to year. That is why we say, if you have one gift to make to the school, The Fund for All Saints is the place to do it.

The Annual Fund runs from July 1 – June 30 each year.

FAQ

Please feel free to call 201-792-6292 or email admissions@allsaintsdayschool.org with any additional questions.

We already pay tuition, why do we need to donate money to the school?
The Annual Fund helps keep tuitions as low as possible. Like almost all independent schools, tuition does not cover the full cost of an All Saints education. Funds raised through the Annual Fund bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the cost of running the school, and provides the added resources in order to take our school from good to great.
What does the money from the Annual Fund go toward?
Your investment in the Annual Fund supports all areas of the school: academic programs, teacher salaries, technology, facilities, etc. It also allows us to respond to our budgetary priorities and any unforeseen needs, developments or opportunities that may arise.
What is the difference between the Annual Fund and Spring Auction giving?
The Annual Fund goes immediately into the school’s operating budget to support the ongoing operations of the school. Spring Auction revenue is allocated towards specific initiatives and projects. In past years, auction revenues have gone towards the purchasing of iPads for classroom use, new playground equipment for our Saint Nicholas Center site, and other such initiatives.
Who is asked for gifts?
Everyone in the All Saints community, including parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and other friends of the school.
How much should I give?

What you give is entirely up to you, but we hope that All Saints will be a philanthropic priority for every All Saints family and ask that you make a gift that is meaningful to you. No gift is too small and every gift is important and appreciated. Last year, the average gift size was $1,200, with gifts ranging from $15 to $20,000.

How will my Annual Fund gift be acknowledged?

Your gift will be acknowledged in the Annual Report, which is distributed each fall and lists all donors to the school. If you prefer, you can make your gift anonymously by directing the Development Office not to list your name. If your gift is matched by your employer, the matched amount will be counted towards your total giving and acknowledged as such in the Annual Report.

What is a matching gift?
Many companies will match charitable contributions by their employees. The company helps to support worthy causes and the employee can maximize the amount donated to the charity. Many All Saints parents work for matching gift companies—please check with your human resources department or your employer to see if they will match your gift. If your gift is matched by your employer, the matched amount will be counted towards your total giving and acknowledged as such in the Annual Report.
Why not simply raise the tuition and eliminate the Annual Fund?

Keeping the tuition more affordable means that an All Saints education is available to a broader range of families.

I can make only one gift to All Saints. Should I give to the Annual Fund or other school fundraising initiatives?
Although we hope that everyone will participate in other fundraising initiatives, if you have one gift to make, it should be to the Annual Fund. The need to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a student’s education is an ongoing yearly challenge; moreover, the philanthropic dollars donated to the Annual Fund also help All Saints continue to enrich and expand our offerings, allowing us to go from good to great.
What impact will my small gift have?
Every gift, regardless of size, is important and appreciated and brings us closer to reaching our fundraising goal. Gifts of any size inspire more people to give; they are a vote of confidence in our school and our community.

Annual Reports

About the All Saints Endowment and the endowment fund for the Brad Ost Scholarship:

The All Saints Endowment is comprised of funds raised for the long-term health and vitality of the institution. These funds are invested to both grow the corpus and continually generate income for needs identified by the Board of Trustees. Having an endowment increases the stability and sustainability of All Saints, providing dependable resources beyond annual tuition and gifts.

The Brad Ost Scholarship is a fund within the umbrella of the broader All Saints Endowment. It was established through the leadership of Ed Ribaudo, an ASEDS Class of 2023 parent and a former trustee, to honor and support his late husband’s wish to leave a lasting impact on our community. Friends and All Saints families have donated to the Brad Ost fund for several years to grow it to the point where it can generate sufficient annual income for a partial scholarship. 2023 is the inaugural year of the scholarship.
