Waves of Impact: The Seacrest Fund
A strong culture of philanthropy defines great independent schools.
At Seacrest Country Day School, our mission is advanced not only through inspired teaching and engaged students, but through the collective commitment of our community. As an independent school, Seacrest receives no government funding. Tuition supports the core of our program, yet it does not fully cover the true cost of delivering the exceptional educational experience our families expect.
The Seacrest Annual Fund closes that gap.
Each year, parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, and friends come together in support of the Annual Fund. These unrestricted gifts directly strengthen the school’s operating budget and ensure that Seacrest continues to provide a dynamic, forward-thinking education rooted in excellence.
Why the Annual Fund Matters
The Annual Fund provides immediate and meaningful impact across campus, including:
- Recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty
- Professional growth and instructional innovation
- Academic and co-curricular programming
- Campus stewardship and enhancements
- Tuition assistance
- Technology and classroom resources
- Student life and leadership opportunities
Every gift supports every student, every day.
Ways to Give
We gratefully accept:
- Cash, check, or credit card
- Wire transfers
- Employer matching gifts
- Gifts of appreciated securities
A gift of appreciated securities may provide significant tax advantages, including avoiding capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value at the time of transfer. For assistance with this option, please contact Heather Moore at hmoore@seacrest.org.
Beyond Financial Support
The strength of Seacrest extends beyond financial generosity. Our families generously share their time, expertise, and leadership across school programs and events. Their involvement enriches the student experience and reinforces the close-knit, engaged community that distinguishes Seacrest.
An Investment in Excellence
Your tax-deductible contribution to the Seacrest Annual Fund has an immediate impact on students, faculty, and programs. Together, we ensure that Seacrest continues to cultivate curiosity, character, and intellectual growth in a learning environment designed to prepare students for lives of purpose and impact.
Participation is one of the strongest indicators of a school’s vitality. We ask each Seacrest family to make the Annual Fund a philanthropic priority annually. When our community gives together, we demonstrate collective belief in our mission and confidence in our future.
