This past year, the Rivers community came together to rally around Rivers during a unique time in our history. The community support of The Rivers Fund has allowed us to push forward in the face of such uncertain times. We were able to open this fall because of this dedication and commitment.
Every gift to The Rivers Fund is essential. Last year, in the face of so much uncertainty, more than 1,700 members of the Rivers community supported our annual giving program with donations ranging from $5 to more than $100,000. We came together and raised more than $2.8 million for programs, professional development, and other needs. The Rivers Fund has an impact on almost every aspect of the school experience.
Growing The Rivers Fund is one of the priorities of FutureMakers: The Campaign for Rivers, and all donations made to the fund count toward the campaign. In our final year of FutureMakers, we have big goals, and we know we can make these happen together.
This year our goal is to raise $3 million for The Rivers Fund while increasing our parent participation to 100% and our alumni participation to 40%. Achieving these goals will place us in the top tier of support levels among our peer schools and demonstrate the level of commitment and pride we all have in Rivers, together.
