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. The annual fundraising goal for the
2006/2007 fiscal year is $100,000.
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.

construct the building. It is a 45,000 square foot facility with large,
light-filled classrooms, science labs, a computer lab, lower school
library, and a multi-purpose room with a practice basketball
court. The total cost of the project was over $10.5M. Click here for pictures and more details about this completed campaign.

Headmaster Scholarship Fund
Eight
percent of Trinity's annual operating budget is set aside for the
tuition assistance program. In addtion 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 finanical 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 .
