Gifts to Episcopal Day School come in many forms. Through our many parent volunteers,
who give so generously of their time and energy, we enhance our students' education
and experiences at EDS. And thanks to the financial generosity and support of our
families and community, EDS students continue to thrive under the extraordinary
leadership and expertise of our esteemed faculty and benefit from a diverse and
challenging curriculum. With the support of our community, our students are connected
to life and all the richness it has in store for them.
Financial gifts from EDS supporters provide the only non-tuition source of income
for the school. As an independent school, EDS receives grant money from Federal
funds through Title I, II IV an VI. We also receive the benefit of free and reduced
lunches for those who qualify through the federal lunch program. Our state provides
funding on a per student basis for textbooks. This is not a great amount, but everything
makes a difference. We are allowed to write grants for technology, teacher tuition
to further their certification and other specific programs that help students' achievement.
Tuition and fees do not cover all of the school's operating budget, thus requiring
us to seek funding from other sources. We depend heavily on a strong Annual Fund
to maintain operations as well as additional contributions to various Capital projects,
our critical Financial Aid Program, and the Endowment Fund.
We invite you to explore the many opportunities that are available for you at
EDS and we look forward to your involvement! For more information on supporting
EDS through gifts to capital projects, the endowment, including EDS in your estate
planning and the Eagle Fund contact Missy LeBlanc, Director of Institutional Advancement
at 337-433-5246. If you are interested in learning more about our Parents' Guild
volunteer opportunities, please contact Kam Jakubek, Director of Admissions at 337-433-5246.
