Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of all fundraising at Cincinnati Country Day School – the foundation upon which other fundraising efforts rest. The Annual Fund at CCDS generates revenue that supports core activities, program enrichment, and school development. Annual Fund revenues provide the extra margin of excellence not afforded by tuition.
The Annual Fund is an ongoing, annual CCDS fundraising activity, critical to the School’s operating income. While it does not replace possible Capital Campaigns, it relieves the burden of fundraising from special events, and provides the funds necessary for the program enhancements and projects needed to maintain Country Day’s level of excellence in education.
