Why is the Annual Fund so important? Our independent school needs to raise funds because the cost of the educational experience we provide is beyond what tuition covers. This is commonly referred to as The Gap between tuition and operating costs. The Annual Fund fills The Gap. Couldn't you raise tuition? Many RRS Families in our community receive tuition assistance. Keeping tuition affordable helps us attract and serve more families. The Annual Fund allows each family to give an amount that is meaningful to them. Gifts are tax-deductible (tuition is not). (We do raise tuition as we can without compromising our families' ability to participate.) Why support RRS? Your gift of any amount supports everything that makes Running River School so special! Your Annual Fund contribution ensures a vibrant educational environment in so many ways, from increased and/or different programming, grounds and van maintenance, field trips, to teacher professional development, visiting educators, and more! Every Child Matters. Every Person Matters. Every Year Matters. Every Amount Matters. Every Gift Matters. Simply put … PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE, and WE NEED YOU! We are Extremely Grateful for Each of YOU & Appreciate Every Heartfelt Share & Gift. Together we can! In the past couple of years through our Annual Fund Campaign we were able to purchase our future location for the RRS Grades 1-8 located at 105 Navajo Drive in Sedona, AZ. Imagine what we can continue to achieve with your help! Thank you so much for being part of our Strong Running River School Community and helping us reach our Fundraising Goal.
