Pine Point Annual Fund
Celebrating 75 years!
What is the Annual Fund?
Each student’s education is financed by both tuition and annual giving support. Each year, about 12% of the operating budget comes from our annual giving campaign. The Annual Fund goes directly to support our entire program for each student in every grade.
Why give to the Annual Fund?
Pine Point aspires to live its mission every day. We seek to actively engage each student in developing a strong academic and ethical core in an environment that is joyful and that fosters a lifelong curiosity in their world. Each gift to our annual fund helps provide the critical resources needed to succeed in this mission of maintaining a distinctive program that is accessible to students today and for future generations of Pine Pointers.
What does my donation support?
Tuition alone falls short of the true cost of a Pine Point education. Every student is subsidized. Your gift goes directly to support academic programs, professional development, financial aid, and campus improvements. Your support ensures that Pine Point can continue to provide an exceptional educational experience that is available to a wide range of families.
How much should I give?
We appreciate gifts of all sizes – every gift matters. Each year, we receive gifts from $5 to $50,000 for our Annual Fund.
