We’ve all been asked for money from various institutions, but if this is your first time as a parent in a private school, you may not realize that to operate, we must raise money each year to cover our expenses. All private schools do this. It’s called an Annual Fund Campaign, specifically designed to close the gap between what your tuition covers and what it costs to run the school.
Two years ago, at Yavneh, tuition only covered half of the expenses to run the school. This year, tuition covers 70% of the expenses to run the school, and the hope is that next year, tuition will cover 75%. We want to become a self-sustaining organization operating on the tuition dollars that pay for operations each year. We run an Annual Fund Campaign to ensure that there is a commitment from every family to be part of the Yavneh community.
In our case, we are asking you to pledge what you can, but ideally, if you can give $18,000 over nine years (K-8th grade), it would put us in a position to start truly building a plan for our future. Help us ensure a Jewish education in this South Bay institution lives on in perpetuity, and the warm, loving embrace of the Yavneh community is here for your children and your children’s children.
With all my gratitude and appreciation,
Diana
Board President
