Giving

As with most private schools, our tuition covers only a portion of our school's operating expenses. In our case, approximately 85 percent of our actual costs are made up by tuition funds. The remainder of our funding comes through the generous support of patrons and contributors to these two essential TEDS programs.

TEDS Annual Fund

The TEDS annual fund drive raises crucial funds for ongoing facility improvements at our school and for special projects. In addition, each year a portion of our annual fund is reserved for the TEDS endowment, to ensure the long-term stability of our school.

The Ginger Robertson Opportunity Fund

In June 2004, Trinity Episcopal Day School established The Opportunity Fund, a scholarship program designed to provide to moderate-income families with access to high-quality early childhood education. In 2007, the fund was renamed The Ginger Robertson Opportunity Fund in honor of our long-time director who retired that year. The fund provides needs-based partial scholarships to families for whom full tuition costs are prohibitive and yet whose incomes do not allow them to qualify for state tuition subsidies. Application forms are being accepted for the 08-09 school year May 15, 2008 through June 15, 2008. If you have any questions contact Lori Ward at 918-582-2556.

Contributions to The TEDS Annual Fund and The Ginger Robertson Opportunity Fund are tax deductible.

Other Fundraisers

Over the years, TEDS has participated in a variety of small fundraisers for PTA projects and other purposes. Currently the PTA is collecting

Mazzio's Pizza receipts as an ongoing fundraiser. Also, TEDS is active with Yahoo-powered GoodSearch.com -- a search engine with a heart. All proceeds from GoodSearch go to The Ginger Robertson Opportunity Fund.
