When our community comes together to support teaching and learning at Saint Stephen’s, we become
more deeply invested in each student’s education. It may surprise some to learn that it takes more than
tuition revenue to pay for all that goes into opening the school’s doors each day. To be sure, tuition
covers the majority of expenses, but there is another important revenue source: the Annual Fund.
Every year, Annual Fund gifts help to provide Saint Stephen’s with the necessary resources to fulfill the
school’s greatest and most immediate needs. The Annual Fund is the single most important way to
support the school, and it's our highest giving priority.

During the ‘Season of Giving,’ which stretches from November 15 to December 31, a portion of all Annual Fund monies raised will go directly to Holiday bonuses for faculty and staff.
Gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax deductible as contributions to a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and donations of any size make a difference. Gifts can be made by cash, check, credit card, or donated stock. Pledges, which must be fulfilled annually by June 30, can be spread out with recurring payments, potentially creating an opportunity for a more impactful gift.
The Annual Fund also qualifies for most corporate matching gift programs.
