Dear Northland Families,
It’s that time of year again! We are launching Northland’s annual fund campaign.
Each year, the annual fund supports your tuition dollars to provide exceptional programs and opportunities for Northland students. Like all private schools, Northland depends on the annual fund to bridge the gap between tuition dollars and yearly expenses.
It is extremely important that we have 100% participation among the school’s families. When submitting grant requests and seeking additional funding support, one of the criteria that organizations consider is whether the school’s families are “all in.” Schools that have the support of every teacher, board member, staff person, and family are more likely to be granted additional funds.
If you aren’t sure how much to give, consider contributing 10% of what you pay in tuition toward the annual fund. I realize that this may not be possible for every family—please give what you can so we reach that 100% participation. As always, all donations to the annual fund are tax deductible.
Last year, the annual fund raised almost $400,000. I’m confident that we can achieve that benchmark this year. In the next 8 weeks, as we work hard to reach that goal, we will be sharing stories of Northland families who have committed to the annual fund. I’d like to start this process by telling my family’s story below.
Throughout the fall, we will be letting you know about other opportunities to support the fantastic things that are happening at Northland—through the capital campaign and the Black & Gold fundraiser. But, for now, let’s all focus on coming together as one family—on one campus!—to reach our annual fund goal and ensure that this is another year of excellence for our kids.
On behalf of the Northland Foundation Board of Directors,
Robert Gilliland
