Each year, several school communities including Faculty & Staff, Grandparents, Members of High Point Friends Meeting, Parents, Special Friends of the School, Trustees and Vendors are asked to consider a contribution to the High Point Friends School Annual Fund. Participation in the HPFS Annual Fund helps to ensure that our school's financial objectives are met. By your support, you are leading by example and showing the entire HPFS family the importance you place on the quality of our students' education.
What is the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is the Trustees’ primary fundraising vehicle for High Point Friends School. It generates a critical component of the School’s operating budget. By enhancing our financial resources, HPFS is better able to attract and retain highly experienced and qualified faculty with more competitive salaries, upgrade technology and instructional materials, fund small capital projects and construction, help underwrite collateral educational opportunities and enhance the overall learning experience for our students. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of an HPFS education. Therefore, every student in the school is supported by the Annual Fund.
What role do I play in fundraising?
The various communities listed above have customarily supported their schools with financial giving. This philanthropic tradition has a long history among independent schools in the United States. Your tax deductible contribution aids in keeping our tuition and fees as competitive as possible, while fostering academic excellence, spiritual values and social responsibility. We hope you will see the benefit in joining with other HPFS communities in support of the 2010-2011 Annual Fund.
How do I participate?
Below is a sample Donor Card that you may use as a guideline. All contributions to the HPFS Annual Fund are sincerely appreciated. Simply mail your check to the school marked "2009-2010 Annual Fund" and we'll handle the rest. You will receive an acknowledgment conforming with IRS tax deductible gift rules.
Important note: Percentage of participation, particularly by Parents, is an important indicator used by philanthropic organizations and certification groups in judging the vitality of the school. So even a small gift has a significant impact.
Thank you for your consideration. Your contribution will make a real and lasting difference.
