Philanthropy

The Culture of Giving At Trinity

divider

At Trinity, we develop curious minds and discerning hearts, teaching our children that they belong to a wider world where their voices, their choices, and their kindness truly matter. This same spirit shapes our school community. Philanthropy at Trinity is a community-wide partnership, brought to life through the meaningful ways our families give their time, talent, and resources to support every child's journey.

Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Trinity education. Every year, there is a 15% to 20% difference between tuition revenue and the actual cost of running our school. We bridge this collective gap through our annual fundraising initiatives, ensuring students experience a learning community where they are known deeply, inspired daily, and supported at every step. High participation across our community is vital—it shows our shared commitment to our mission and our collective investment in every child’s future.

The Annual Fund

Launched each fall, the Annual Fund is our primary and most critical fundraising effort of the year, serving as our second-largest source of revenue after tuition. Gifts to the Annual Fund directly support our daily operating budget, keeping our classrooms vibrant, providing professional development for our faculty, and ensuring our school operations run smoothly.

Seeding the Future

This fund opens doors. It powers our financial assistance program, allowing us to welcome socioeconomically diverse families into our community and support current Trinity families who face unexpected life circumstances. It ensures that belonging at Trinity remains real and inclusive.

Annual Gala Benefit

Every spring, our community gathers for a night of connection, celebration, and purpose. Proceeds from the Gala support our yearly operating budget. During the evening, we also introduce Fund-A-Need, an invitation to fund a specific, emerging project that directly enhances the immediate learning environment of our children.
