The ELC Annual fund provides financial support to the many areas of ongoing expenditures in all aspects of the school. Tuition provides for approximately 90% of the cost to provide each student the ELC experience. The Annual Fund helps offset this deficit.
Why doesn't ELC just raise tuition to reduce the deficit?
The Annual Fund helps ELC limit increases in tuition in order to remain competitive as well as to ensure that we don’t prohibit many families from having the opportunity of a ELC early childhood education. Moreover, the ELC Annual Fund is not solely the responsibility of our current families but rather a community effort. Through tax-deductible gifts to the Annual Fund, the generosity of all our donors help keep tuition costs more affordable and ensure ELC maintains our standard of academic excellence for generations to come.
Does my gift make a difference?
Every gift to the Annual Fund - no matter what size - helps make a difference! As a reminder, if you work for a corporation that offers matching gifts for contributions to educational organizations, we urge you to take advantage of those programs.
