The best reason is the reason donors mention most…

            …giving to Pacific Ridge is joyful. Rewarding. It feels great.

After all, what could feel better, be more joyful or rewarding than realizing your gift will make a lasting difference with each and every student? And there is also the personal satisfaction of knowing that your generosity will have maximum impact at a small, growing, new school, where every gift truly is important.

There are two ways to support Pacific Ridge School financially: annual fund giving and gifts to our current Breaking New Ground Campaign.

Annual fund gifts are essential to sustaining on-going educational excellence at our school. They support the operational gap that exists between tuition and what it actually costs to provide the excellent faculty, programs, and level of tuition assistance our school provides.

Gifts to the Breaking New Ground Campaign help provide the physical environment in which our students and faculty thrive.

Developing a Personal Philanthropy Plan

Families often discover that developing a personal philanthropy plan can be helpful when deciding how much to give and to whom. Developing the plan involves just three simple steps: 

1. Determine how much money you will gift to all philanthropic causes during a calendar year. Some make that decision based on an absolute dollar amount, percentage of personal income, or percentage of net worth.
2. Identify your top priorities.  A key question many ask is, “Where can I make the greatest difference in the areas I care most about?”
3. Allocate your philanthropic support based on the first two determinants.

If Pacific Ridge School is one of your top priorities, you can be assured that your gift will make a difference.

During this uncertain economic time, one thing is for sure. Investing in our children’s education is the best investment we can make in their, and in all of our, futures.

Through your tax-deductible gift to Pacific Ridge School, you will be creating a living legacy.

Better still, you will see the results of your generosity every day.

Thank you for your support.
