The New Roads Fund 2026-27
The New Roads Fund sustains the mission that has defined our school since 1995: authentic diversity, academic rigor, exceptional teaching, and a generous community where curiosity leads to discovery. It bridges the 13% gap between what tuition covers and the actual cost to educate each child. Your participation is powerful. Every gift strengthens the foundation of New Roads.
I Already Pay Tuition. Why Is My Gift Important?
Tuition gets us most of the way there, but the running costs of providing a New Roads education are greater than the income we receive from tuition. Your gift to the New Roads Fund helps bridge that gap, making it possible to continue investing in the teachers, programs, and experiences that make our school special, while helping keep a New Roads education accessible to more families than many of our peer schools. Your gift helps make the full New Roads experience possible for every student.
Is there a flexible payment option?
Yes! Just check the box that says “I want to make this donation in installments” and choose the number of months that works best for your family. The sooner you make your gift, the more months you’ll have to spread out your payments.
When do I need to make my gift?
We’re hoping to have gifts in by December 31, 2026, because our annual budget for the coming year is set in January. Knowing what support we can count on helps us plan thoughtfully for the year ahead. If December 31 doesn’t align with your philanthropic giving, you can make a pledge now and choose a payment date that works best for you. As long as your payment is received by June 30, 2027, your gift will count toward this year’s campaign, and your pledge helps us know we can count on your support as we plan for the year ahead.
I can't give right now. Can I make a pledge?
Yes! You can make your pledge online by clicking clicking here and selecting “Pledge” as your payment method. Then, choose your payment due date.
I can’t make a large gift. Does my contribution still make a difference?
What matters most is that we all participate. Last year, gifts of $250 or less added up to more than $36,000, showing just how much we can accomplish when our community comes together. Every gift, at every level, helps support the teachers, programs, and experiences that make New Roads special.
Can I donate by check? If so, who should I make it out to, and where should I send it?
Yes, you can!
