Fundraising Fills the Gap between Tuition and Operating Expenses

Tuition covers many of the costs of running and maintaining our 120-acre campus. However, there are many additional expenses that we rely on fundraising, especially the annual Raven Fund, to cover, bridging the gap between money raised by tuition and the annual budget. With the completion of our new building will come increased operational expenses. We are so grateful for all our supporters whose generosity fills the gap.

The Raven Fund directly supports the school’s operational needs for the current academic year, offering immediate budgetary relief. While tuition covers the majority of expenses, it does not cover everything. Contributions to the Raven Fund are separate from RFA fundraising events such as the Run for Riverfield and Sapphire Celebration.

The iNSPiRED Campaign, our most recent capital initiative, successfully funded the new Center for Creativity and the expansion of Clark Gymnasium - both of which became fully operational during the 2023-24 school year. Each year, we undertake capital projects aimed at enhancing our campus. To learn more about current priorities, please contact Head of School Jerry Bates or Director of Giving Clint Rataczak.

 

 

The Riverfield Family Association supports the school through events such as the Run for Riverfield and Sapphire Celebration. Funds raised from these events are distributed the following school year and support key areas including financial aid, the operating fund, and special projects.
