Annual Giving
The GDS Annual Giving Prgram is a school-wide effort that provides vital funds for the School’s annual operating budget. Support for the Annual Giving Program comes from two major sources: the Annual Fund and Special Events.

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a yearly effort to raise unrestricted funds to help bridge the gap between tuition income and total operating expenses. Every year, hundreds of people including current parents, alumni, faculty and staff, alumni parents, grandparents, and friends of the School who believe in our mission and support our ideals contribute to the Annual Fund.

Special Events
Funds raised by special events support programs at the school. These events are organized and run by parent volunteers with help from alumni and staff support from the Development Office.
Country Market Day has been a fall tradition at GDS for two decades. It is a highly spirited event, involving the entire school community. Dozens of GDS parents set up crafts booths and games for children. Many more prepare and serve a wide variety of homemade foods.
The Spring Auction, another GDS tradition, relies on the support of hundreds of GDS parents and friends and makes a major contribution to the school's annual operating budget.

Capital Giving
Capital giving addresses the school's needs over and above annual operating costs, enabling it to expand facilities, increase endowment, maintain existing buildings, and provide a steady income for financial aid and faculty salaries.
The Georgetown Day School community recognizes that we benefit today from the generosity of those who have been at GDS before us. Every GDS family is asked to make this school its number one philanthropic priority while their children are enrolled. |
