It is true that the exemplary education your child receives at Trinity School exceeds the cost of tuition. It is true that your gifts support the people and programs that make Trinity School special. Your Annual Fund contribution ensures the financial health of the school you chose for your child, meaning, that beyond the basics covered by tuition, Trinity can fully realize our mission:

• to give your child a voice.
• to guide your child to self-discovery.
• to celebrate your child’s growth in critical thinking, character development, and social responsibility.

Your gift is also tax-deductible as Trinity School is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

For the 2020 – 2021 academic year, there are two vital parts of our Faculty Venture Grant funding.  As with the rest of the world, we are living with the impact of Covid-19 and optimized our learning environment in light of the implications.  This will take additional faculty training to maximize the health and safety of our students and equip the teachers in the best possible methodologies in what will be an altered learning environment.  In addition to Covid-19 training, equally important will be increased and intentional training for the faculty regarding diversity, inclusion, anti-bias, and unconscious bias areas.  The form of this training will be through the use of consultants, workshops and seminars, and identifying leadership, individually and collectively to combat systematic racism and social/financial inequality.

The Annual Benefit and Celebration is produced and staffed by the Trinity Parent Association. The event is a time for both fun-raising and fund-raising. Each year’s event has a different theme and includes a night of dinner, silent auction, live auction, and entertainment.

Trinity School celebrates diversity across our students, families, and staff.  Since 1961, the school has encouraged economic diversity – allowing hundreds of students to benefit from a Trinity education through our financial assistance program.  The Fund-A-Need event held during our Spring Benefit raises funds to build our endowment that changes lives for good. This is especially true this year as we examine financial inequality in society and we work with families who may face financial hardship due to Covid-19.  Approximately 15% of Trinity students are supported by our financial assistance program.

Make your gift with a credit card through our secure online giving form. If you would like to make your payment over time, you can arrange a monthly or quarterly recurring gift. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

We love our volunteers! Volunteering is an expression of your interest and commitment to your child’s school life and showing your support of Trinity’s mission and core values. As your children watch parents/guardians, grandparents, and alumni generously give of their time and talent, they learn the importance of giving back and getting involved. Volunteering at the school provides many benefits and provides an insight into the school: who the staff, teachers, and volunteer leaders are, how the mission is carried out each day, and witness the impact of their philanthropy.
