Annual Fund

Gifts to the Annual Fund provide immediate support for academics, financial aid, faculty enrichment, athletics, performing and visual arts, and more.

Essentially, the Annual Fund provides resources beyond tuition that support all areas of the School and benefit all students in the academic year the funds are donated. With more than 15% of our yearly budget derived from annual donations and income from our endowment, gifts to the Annual Fund make a difference. 

Saint James School is a non-profit independent school and does not receive federal or state funding for its programs. Tuition covers only 80% of what a Saint James education costs. Philanthropy from donors subsidizes every student’s time here. When you give to the Annual Fund, you are providing flexible funding that can be used when and where it’s needed most. 

Saint James School has fewer supporters than many large universities or charities, but our needs are just as great. That’s why we ask every member of the SJS community to support the Annual Fund – including our Board of Trustees, parents, faculty and staff, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends.

Since tuition alone does not cover the entire cost of a year’s education, fundraising is vital to maintain the health and continued growth of the school. 

It is easy to give to the Annual Fund! Whether online, via mail or by phone, we cannot wait to hear from you. Contributions to the Annual Fund are fully tax-deductible, and may be paid by cash, check, credit card, and more. Pledges may be made, and then fulfilled later in the year (before June 30th).
