Generosity at Trinity


Your generosity plays a vital role in supporting our mission to educate students in the classical tradition and teach them through a rich and unhurried education, all for the Glory of Christ.

Your stewardship—through your time, treasures, and talents—transforms the Trinity experience and ensures that current and future generations of students will have the opportunity to know that they are loved by God. Whether you choose to support the Trinity Fund, Endowments, Restricted Gifts, or Sunshine Tuition Assistance Relief Fund (STAR), your gift will help us continue to advance this mission.

Trinity Fund

By supporting the Trinity Fund, you teach the next generation to love learning for its own sake, pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, and live a rich and unhurried life—all for the glory of Christ. 

The Trinity Fund is vital to our school’s operations because it covers about 3% of our total budget – the portion not covered by tuition and other revenue (e.g. endowment). A healthy Trinity Fund each year means a robust experience for our students and teachers, from arts and athletics to educational materials and faculty development.

Every dollar given to the Trinity Fund is used in the current school year, which means your investment goes to work immediately for and directly to the education of our students. 

As a part of our community, you are warmly invited to join us in supporting the mission of our Trinity School. Thank you for investing in the next generation through Trinity School.


Endowments

Endowments support the long-term growth of Trinity by generating annual support while still growing in total value over time. Families, organizations, and individuals have collectively given more than $1M, allowing our endowment to grow to a total value of over $1.6M today.

Your family has the opportunity to create named endowment funds at Trinity to support the scholarships or programs that are important to you. 

Endowments support areas such as faculty professional development, scholarships for students with financial need, and scholarships that promote socioeconomic and racial diversity.

A named and unrestricted endowment can be established with an investment of $50,000, while a named and restricted endowment can be established with an investment of $100,000.
