GDS Annual Fund
What is the 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.
The Annual Fund is the most flexible and immediate source of non-tuition income for our annual operating expenses. The Annual Fund supports faculty and staff salaries, financial assistance for qualified students, and virtually every other aspect of school life. With the help of our many Annual Fund volunteers, we are able to make a significant contribution to GDS each and every year.
By making a gift to the Annual Fund, members of the GDS community can demonstrate their ongoing support for the School and its mission. Each year, we work toward a goal of 100% participation from current parents and significant participation from our alumni, faculty and staff, alumni parents, and grandparents. We hope that you will join our efforts this year with your generosity and your participation.
