What is The Annual Fund?
Trinity School’s Annual Fund raises money each year to bridge the gap between our operational budget and tuition. To keep tuition affordable, Trinity doesn’t charge parents the tuition needed to cover all expenses associated with providing a specialized education to our students.
Gifts made to The Annual Fund benefit our K-12 students. The Annual Fund is important for our school’s ability to compete for grants and to provide activities for our Tigers. For this reason, we ask that all families donate. Your participation encourages others to give, helps persuade foundations and corporations to invest in our school, and sends a message to the philanthropic community that Trinity School makes a difference.
What does The Annual Fund support?
The Annual Fund supports the greatest needs of our school, including:
- Professional enrichment programs and benefits to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff.
- Cutting-edge, 1:1 student device technology, and supplements.
- Ongoing maintenance of our campus, including facilities, and building systems like HVAC.
- Annual gifts also allow the administration to address unexpected expenses when they occur.

The Annual Fund comes from our Trinity families.
- Family and their extended friends and families
- Board of Trustees
- Businesses of our families
- Local businesses
A Place to Learn
Students with learning differences often have a hard time excelling in a traditional school environment. At Trinity, every student is working on something, and we tailor each child’s learning plan to meet them where they are. Interventions are done in class utilizing research-based methods and accommodations. With your help, we can provide the very best tools to help our students succeed.
A Place to Grow
Change can be hard for students with learning differences, and many endured negative experiences at other schools. Trinity School offers a comprehensive K-12 program and provides a stable and nurturing environment so students can feel comfortable. With your help, we can extend our programs and provide scholarships to families in need.
A Place to Belong
Children with learning differences are often bullied or singled out in traditional school environments. Trinity provides a safe and encouraging atmosphere where students feel welcome and free to be themselves. Trinity offers activities, sports, and clubs, helping to make school a fun place to be. With your help, we can add to and build our extracurricular programs.
At Trinity, we strive to instill a servant’s heart in all of our students. Spiritual development is just as important as academic development. Tigers for Good is our annual service project and fundraiser in which students give back to our community. This year as our service project, we have chosen to beautify Sparrow Park, located within walking distance from the school. Students will clean up the grounds and plant flowers in the park.
Our fundraiser covers the cost of the service project, with a portion going to Palomar, a family justice center aiding victims of abuse.
We hope you will participate in this worthwhile project. Not only will you help make our community a better place, but you will also be helping to foster a heart of giving in our students.
