Annual Fund

As a nonprofit institution, Stevenson depends on the generosity of our community members to provide students with an education that is challenging, nourishing, relevant, and joyful.

As a nonprofit institution, Stevenson depends on the generosity of our community members to provide students with an education that is challenging, nourishing, relevant, and joyful.

As a relatively young school and with a correspondingly modest endowment, Stevenson relies on the Annual Fund to provide critical support for the operating budget.

Gifts to the Annual Fund contribute to essential areas like faculty salaries, professional development, financial aid, athletics, arts, and so much more. Each gift makes an immediate impact on our students’ education and allows the school to offer more resources to students and faculty than would be possible for us if we relied on tuition revenue alone.

Donors may designate their gifts to support financial aid, faculty, academic programs, fine arts, athletics, or to the areas of greatest need as determined by the school.
