Annual Fund

Head of School Kicks Off the 2024-25 Annual Fund

At St. Stephen’s, we believe in our mission and shared purpose of inspiring a lasting love of learning and spirit of service so that each of our students lives a life of meaning and enriches the world. Every gift to the Annual Fund directly affects today’s students and is an important investment in this extraordinary school on a hill and beyond.

Gifts to the Annual Fund provide vital support for every aspect of the Spartan experience:
– Outstanding faculty and staff with professional development and research opportunities
– Financial assistance for qualified students
– Small student to teacher ratio
– Innovative classroom technologies
– Premier and co-curricular programs
– Athletics and Fine Arts programming
– Student trips and retreats
– Health and wellness programs
– And so much more!

Our 2024-25 Annual Fund goal is $1.8 million. 
The Annual Fund is the school’s highest fundraising priority. Please join the community of trustees, alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and friends in giving to support the continued excellence of a St. Stephen’s education. Make your gift today!

Thank You for Giving to the 2023-24 Annual Fund
