I keep pondering the question of how to create a “culture of giving” at a relatively new school like Cardin. Many of our families come to us from public schools where there was neither tuition nor the concept of an annual appeal. In many messages, I have shared information about how a contribution to the The Shoshana S. Cardin School Annual Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of operating the school. The importance of 100% participation by all of our constituent groups cannot be overemphasized. Foundations and corporations note the level of support from within an institution before making decisions about funding proposals. Everyone has been told that it is not the size of your gift, but rather your intent to work toward a goal as part of our community. Regardless of the size of your contribution, it is significant!
Your understanding of the purpose of the annual fund drive means that you will make a contribution in an amount that is at your comfort level today!
Spring is finally approaching and with it our target date of March 21.
