Giving at The Carey School
As an independent school, Carey receives no financial support from Federal, State or local governments.
Tuition and fees represent approximately 90%-95% of the school’s operating budget. Fundraising provides most of the remaining 5%-10%. This fundraising falls into 4 types of giving: CSPA fundraising events (Careyfest / Walk-a-Thon, Auction and eScrip / SchoolPOP), Annual Giving, Capital Campaign and Endowment. All parents are expected to contribute to these efforts.
The following chart outlines each type of giving including the purpose, frequency, key benefits, sponsors and uses of funds.
