Annual Fund

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund for Coast Episcopal School supports every student, every teacher, and every program, bridging the gap between tuition and the full Coast Episcopal experience.

Why the Annual Fund Matters

An annual fund at most independent schools serves as the philanthropic foundation of giving. Each year, schools rely on unrestricted annual fund contributions to provide important resources for students and faculty that support educational initiatives not covered by tuition alone.

Your gift to The Annual Fund for Coast Episcopal School supports current school priorities of the CES educational experience, such as academic programs, technology, and the arts, positively impacting every aspect of academic and student life. You and your support are the difference between a school that meets the standards our students deserve and one that exceeds them, ensuring an unparalleled educational experience at CES.

Simply put, the Annual Fund helps CES do more than operate.

It helps CES thrive!

This year, as we celebrate 75 years of shaping young minds and hearts, we’ve set a bold but achievable goal.

As a parent, a priest, and a member of the CES Board, I’m asking you to join me in supporting the Annual Fund. Not out of obligation, but because these children, our children, deserve an education that shapes character as much as it teaches content. They deserve teachers who feel empowered and supported. And they deserve a school that can dream forward without hesitation.

The Rev. Patrick Sanders Rector, St. Peter’s-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church
