Endowment & Capital Giving

Pacific Ridge School established its general endowment in late 2021 to generate a perpetual source of income, protect the school against market volatility and unforeseen events, and mitigate rising costs. The fund's current value of ~$7 million is significant given the school's relatively young age; increasing the endowment to $10 million is seen as the minimum threshold before drawing from it as an additional source of income for the school's operating budget. Building a robust endowment will allow PRS to remain accessible to a diverse student body and is imperative for providing financial resiliency and securing the future.

Be a part of a meaningful PRS tradition! When you make a gift to the endowment in honor of your senior, both your name and your student’s name (if indicated as “In Honor Of”) will be recognized in the 2026 Annual Report under the Class of 2026 Legacy Gift. It’s a heartfelt way to say “congratulations,” while helping to build a foundation for future students. 

Capital giving is transformative. Donors who contribute to support critical building and infrastructure initiatives that advance the school's strategic priorities have a lasting impact on current and future generations of students. 

 

The Pacific Ridge School community has raised nearly $100 million through Capital Giving, transforming our school into today's vibrant campus. Capital Campaigns are targeted fundraising efforts for significant projects such as new buildings, renovations, or purchasing major equipment. These donations are usually larger, one-time gifts and often involve multi year pledges. Click HERE to view the donor list from our most recently completed Here to Stay Campaign for financial sustainability.

 

The Board of Trustees has identified new opportunities to align our physical spaces with the programmatic excellence for which Pacific Ridge is known. We look forward to sharing more as plans take shape.  For more information, please email Barbara Edwards or call 760-448-9849.
