Annual Fund

Making A Difference. Every gift. Every student. Every day.
How does the Annual Fund make a difference?

The mark of any great independent school is a strong Annual Fund both in dollars raised and parent participation. Cannon School’s success depends on a thriving Annual Fund supported by parents and friends of Cannon like you because it helps to balance the operating budget. More than this, your support empowers Cannon to challenge and engage students, encourage and support innovation in the classroom, enrich the arts and strengthen athletics, and provide professional development opportunities for our faculty.

The Annual Fund helps to cover the difference between tuition and the cost of each student’s education because tuition does not cover the entire cost of an independent school education. Every tax-deductible donation you make helps to maintain smaller classroom sizes, innovative educational technologies, award-winning arts programs, and the continuation of meaningful programs at every grade level.

Who can make a difference?

You make the difference at Cannon and your commitment to the School is reflected in your participation. The Annual Fund is the School’s most important fund-raising campaign and we ask every member of our community to prioritize supporting the School by participating with a donation. Each year, hundreds of parents, faculty, staff, alumni, grandparents, trustees, and friends contribute to the Annual Fund and make a difference every day. When you join this important circle of supporters, you are laying a strong foundation for Cannon and its students, to build upon.

Thank you for thoughtfully considering a gift to the 2012-2013 Annual Fund.
 
Cannon Society Makes a Difference
Each spring, the Head of School honors Cannon School’s most generous supporters at a special reception. These donors have contributed $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund and become members of the Cannon Society. Gifts at this level account for approximately 80 percent of the total unrestricted dollars raised each year through the Annual Fund.
