Show Your Love for RA|LP
Support our February 2026 Annual Fund Challenge!
What is the February Annual Fund Challenge?
February is a pivotal month for the Annual Fund. If our community reaches 100 gifts of any size during the month, an anonymous donor will contribute an additional $200,000 to RA|LP. This challenge gives us an extraordinary opportunity to multiply the impact of our collective generosity and directly benefit our students and school.
Who counts toward the challenge goal?
Every donor counts—regardless of gift size. Gifts from parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends all help us reach the 100-gift goal. Participation matters most, and every single gift moves us closer to unlocking the challenge.
Are there any incentives for participating?
Yes! As a thank-you, all gifts made through February 28 will be entered into a drawing. Families who have already made a gift this year are automatically included. Winners will be announced on March 2, with prizes including:
- VIP Parking for the rest of the 2025-26 school year
- Class Dress-Down Day for the grade with the highest parent participation
What is the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund provides unrestricted support for RA|LP’s operating expenses throughout the year. Each year, it accounts for approximately 5% of the school’s operating budget, helping sustain the programs, people, and resources that make our school thrive.
Why does participation matter?
We measure participation by the number of donors, not the dollar amount of each gift. Strong participation demonstrates a shared commitment to the school’s success and sends a powerful message that our community believes in our mission to prepare confident graduates who shape their future with ingenuity and integrity. High participation strengthens RA|LP’s reputation among peer independent schools and improves our standing in rankings. It also supports grant applications, as foundations often look to community participation as a key indicator of an organization’s strength and sustainability.
