Talking Points for The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund
The purpose of The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund has always been to provide a reliable source of revenue that offers stability for the College and its students. In the coming years, The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund remains an important priority helping the College thrive, while having the flexibility to use this support where it is needed most throughout the year.
Unrestricted dollars go right to work to support the everyday life of the College and our students. Its de facto role as an emergency fund remains relevant because of the ever changing and evolving nature of our current circumstances, making its immediacy so critical. The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund enables us to provide for our students without interruption when unanticipated circumstances arise.
The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund is an actual line with the College’s annual operating budget. This budget line is what The ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Fund MUST generate in order to fully fund the annual cost of educating and providing for current students. Even for full paying students, tuition, room and board does not fully cover the cost to educate and accommodate them. The average student pays roughly half of the sticker price of their tuition. Philanthropy subsidizes the rest.
Each year, Slade Society leadership donors represent about 11% of our donors, but contribute more than 76% of the dollars that sustain ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï.
