Annual Fundraising

Tuition alone does not completely cover the cost of a Trinity education. Therefore, the school engages in several means of ongoing, annual fundraising for the general operating account. Each year approximately 2.5% of the operating budget must be raised through a combination of gifts and the following programs.

Scrip - Gift Card Sales is a program in which Trinity's PTO partners with the school to facilitate grocery and retail gift card (scrip) sales. This fundraiser is a "no cost" opportunity for friends and families of the school to purchase gift cards for routine purchases, and a percentage of the proceeds go to Trinity.

Read-A-Thon is Trinity's mid-winter fundraising program which encourages good reading habits for students in grades one through eight. Students ask friends and family who are interested in supporting Christian education at Trinity to sponsor their reading efforts.

PTO Events and Programs are many and varied throughout the year. In the past, the PTO has sponsored a gift-wrap sales program in September as its primary operating budget fundraiser. There are numerous opportunities such as Breaking Bread nights which encourage fellowship and support the school. In addition, the PTO hosts an annual spring event which often serves as a boost to the school's capital campaign.

Headmaster Scholarship Fund

Eight percent of Trinity's annual operating budget is set aside for the tuition assistance program. In addition to this amount, the Board of Trustees has established a Headmaster Fund to provide tuition support to selected students at the discretion of the Headmaster. Typically, awards are given to students who are not eligible for the financial aid program or when financial aid funds are no longer available. The Headmaster may use the fund to target specific needs or programs of the school or to respond to special circumstances that may arise. For information about contributing to this fund, contact the Office of the Headmaster at OHM@tcsfairfax.org .

"For knowledge without character is like a ship without a course, capable of anything, but driven toward nothing. The focusing of our knowledge on those causes that are both right and moral in the eyes of God, the transforming of the knowledge of good into good intentions, the desire to see what we have learned to be good and righteous become reality, the outward expression of our ability to live the fullness of life as we have been created in the image of God – this is character...I would like to remind the graduates today that it is the pursuit of a godly character that will ultimately bring each of us success, not only earthly, but eternal success in effectively living as a witness to the glory of God, and the truth of the Gospel."
