The Winsor Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the first priority of the school's fund raising. Our 2007-2008 Annual Fund goal is $2,400,000. That number simply reflects the high cost of excellence.
Your gift will help Winsor to remain a leader in education, enabling the school to:
- attract and retain a superb faculty
- offer need-based tuition assistance to outstanding students
- provide a rigorous, balanced curriculum
- support state-of-the-art technology
- expand girls' options in the arts and athletics
- maintain our beautiful campus and facilities
- cover the utilities to keep the school running
- encourage diversity
- maintain Winsor's excellence
Why is the Annual Fund so vital? In part, it is because tuition covers only about 72% of the real cost of a Winsor education. Every student, in effect, receives "tuition assistance." The Annual Fund and endowment subsidize the cost. Winsor will rely on those sources to contribute nearly $8,150 per student this year, including $4,650 per student from the Annual Fund alone.
Every gift makes a difference. Since Winsor is such a small community, every contribution is a "high impact" gift. Last year, 88% of parents and 35% of alumnae joined in the Annual Fund drive. Those numbers show a deep understanding of and commitment to Winsor's vision and needs.
