The St. Luke's Fund, or Annual Fund, is the foundation of the School's yearly fundraising efforts.
At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, we want you to feel welcome and included. Your engagement is critical in helping us achieve our mission and to building a lasting foundation for the future of our students. We encourage our families to participate in the daily life of SLES, build community and provide financial support beyond tuition.
The nation's finest independent schools have solid fundraising programs with active parent involvement, St. Luke’s is no exception! Our school benefits from a tradition of generous giving. We depend on a combination of tuition and fundraising revenue to support our daily operations, curriculum, campus security, and faculty development. All gifts to the St. Luke's Fund are 100% tax- deductible. Our goal is 100% participation from our Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, and families! This achievement is critical to the financial health of the School when applying for grants from trusts and foundations.
