Annual Fund proceeds support every child, every day

At TDS, tuition does not fully cover the expenses associated with educating a child. This gap is bridged through generous contributions to the Annual Fund from our community.

How much am I expected to give?

Families should give to the best of their abilities and at a level that demonstrates the value placed on the exemplary education from TDS.

What is a corporation-matching gift?

Many companies, both national and local, offer matching gift programs as a way of increasing the benefits of their employees’ charitable donations. Please inquire with your human resources department about a matching gift.

Why is participation so important?

High levels of participation demonstrate support and a commitment to the education provided by TDS. This year, we strive for 100% participation.
