What is Parent Giving?
Gifts from current parents account for approximately 30% of our Annual Fund contributions. These unrestricted funds support all the annual expenses of educating our students—from teacher benefits and salaries to financial aid, to basketballs and uniforms.  Because tuition covers only 92% of these annual expenses, all families are, in effect, receiving financial aid. We rely on the charitable giving of parents, alumni, faculty, and friends to make up the difference. The Annual Fund runs from July 1 to June 30.


How will my child benefit?
Because the Annual Fund supports yearly expenses, when parents contribute their gifts have an immediate impact on current programming. Through the Annual Fund you will be supporting the School across every venue and enable your child to benefit from small classes, exceptional faculty, and the multiple and varied opportunities that characterize the PCD experience.


How will I be solicited?
You will receive a mailing in the fall and you may also receive a phone call from an Annual Fund volunteer to help answer questions pertaining to your Annual Fund contribution.


How much should I contribute?
We hope that you appreciate the need for everyone in our community to contribute to the success of our School by way of donations to the Annual Fund, and that you consider making PCD a philanthropic priority, especially while your child is a student here. Your gift to PCD has the potential to accomplish much more than a similar gift to a larger institution and every gift is greatly valued. Individual Annual Fund gifts range from $25 - $25,000, Leadership Gifts begin at $1,000 and we encourage all parents to give according to their own financial circumstances. All contributions to the Annual Fund are tax deductible.
