ANNUAL

FUND
Inspiring Bright Minds

The Annual Fund is Sage’s top giving priority because it directly supports the school’s greatest

assets – our students and teachers. We are able to attract and retain exceptional faculty, maintain

small class sizes and provide dynamic programming with individual attention to our students.

Tuition alone does not fund the entire operating budget, and the Board of Trustees and Head of

School are determined to minimize tuition increases. The Annual Fund combined with auxiliary

revenue supports the $1,200 difference between tuition and the true cost Sage’s expenses.

The success of the Annual Fund comes from the collective generosity of former and current parents,

alumni, grandparents, faculty and staff, and other friends of the school. Your gift, no matter the

size, sends a powerful message that you believe in Sage and its mission. We are sincerely grateful

to our donors, for they play an integral role in the school’s philanthropic legacy in support of

teaching excellence and lifelong learning.
