Annual Giving

• When members in our community participate, they clearly demonstrate their confidence in the philosophy and mission of NSCD.
• Annual Giving donations are needed from all in our community (parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, current and former faculty and staff and friends) to meet the yearly operating budget.
• Please visit Ways to Give for more information on how to participate.

• The Board of Trustees is committed to keeping tuition at a competitive level; increasing revenue through Annual Giving allows our school to keep tuition increases as minimal as possible, and therefore, more accessible to more families. 
• The gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student is about $11,500.
• Unlike tuition, Annual Giving donations are tax-deductible.

• Please support Annual Giving at the level that is meaningful to you. We encourage 100% participation from the NSCD community. Our giving societies have been established for recognition purposes. All donors to the school are recognized in our Annual Report, and leadership donors in our Giving Societies are invited to our Hannaford Recognition event every fall.
• You can give online. Monthly recurring gifts are available.
• Many employers will match charitable donations. Please check with your employer or our Corporate Matching Lookup on our website.

We appreciate all contributions to the school. Participation in Annual Giving is separate from The Benefit. Annual Giving is our first priority and supports the day-to-day operations, set by the budget at the beginning of the year. The Benefit supports a specific initiative directed by the Strategic Plan.

This is a gift that is collected by our Parents’ Association as acknowledgement and appreciation of the work of faculty and staff with students throughout the year. The total is divided up evenly and presented in June. Letters are sent at the end of the calendar year. Because this is a gift that goes directly to faculty and staff, it is not tax deductible.
