Annual Fund

The cornerstone of the school's fundraising efforts

The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of the school's fundraising efforts and everyone in the Spence community is encouraged to participate. Gifts to the Annual Fund help bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of providing a unique and comprehensive education for each student. Representing between 10 and 13 percent of the school's operating budget each year, the Annual Fund helps pay for everything from faculty salaries and professional development opportunities to new curriculum initiatives, from financial assistance programs to technology maintenance and upgrades, from the electricity needed to keep the lights on to supplies and books. It helps Spence attract and retain a talented and committed faculty and provides support for extracurricular activities, clubs, sports, arts initiatives and other programs.

Participation in the Annual Fund is crucial to the health and vitality of the school, allowing Spence to maintain its high standards and excellence and demonstrating the commitment of the community to its past, present and future. We encourage every member of the Spence community to contribute, no matter the size of the gift.
