The Pilgrim Fund
We hope to see every Pilgrim family participate in the Pilgrim Fund to reach our goal of 100% participation.
At Pilgrim, we take immense pride in delivering a robust and inclusive education while striving to keep our tuition fees as accessible as possible to preserve our socio-economic diversity. However, tuition alone doesn’t cover the full scope of our school’s operating budget.
This is where the Pilgrim Fund plays a crucial role. Established to bridge this gap between our tuition revenues and the actual cost of operations, the Pilgrim Fund is vital in supporting every facet of our educational experience, including:
- Enhancements to classroom environments
- Seed funding for innovative programs and activities
- Tuition Assistance for families who need it
- Competitive salaries and comprehensive professional development for our dedicated faculty and staff
Contributions to the Pilgrim Fund are 100% tax-deductible and are instrumental in securing the future of our school. Our goal every year is to achieve 100% participation from our Board, faculty, staff, and families, and to steadily increase engagement from our alumni and grandparents.
Your support is essential in sustaining our community and advancing our mission. We invite you to consider making a contribution to the Pilgrim Fund this year, and join us in strengthening the foundation of our beloved school.
Thank you for your commitment and generosity!
