The CavFund

 

The CavFund is the foundation of philanthropy at CCES, providing unrestricted support that supports and strengthens every classroom, every program, and every Cavalier.

Your gift to the CavFund makes a difference in the life of every Cavalier. Because tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a CCES education, annual giving provides the flexibility to invest where the school needs it most. From inspiring classroom experiences and championship athletics to transformative arts programs, service learning, and the Episcopal traditions that define our community, every gift helps make the CCES experience possible. 

Gifts of every size matter, and broad community participation strengthens our school for today's students and for generations of Cavaliers to come. 

Give to what you love

Financial Accessibility

More than $2 million in tuition assistance is offered to families, helping the School provide the CCES experience to more students in our community.

CCES has been more than just an educational institution for our kids; it's been a nurturing environment where they've grown, learned, and built friendships that will last a lifetime. We've witnessed their confidence and curiosity soar, their passion for learning ignite, and their dreams begin to take shape. Every contribution to the CavFund directly supports the programs that make CCES exceptional. When we give to the CavFund, we set an example for our children about the importance of giving back and being part of something larger than ourselves. We teach them the value of community and the impact of collective support.

Founder's Club

The CCES Founders Club plays a critical role in CavFund’s success and CCES’ ongoing progress as a leading independent school. Our leadership donors provide more than 80% of CavFund dollars each year. CCES honors all of our donors, but especially those that support the school at such a generous level. Through their leadership gifts, these donors ensure that CCES remains fiscally sound and prepared with the vital resources we need each year. The Founders Club recognizes donors who make annual gifts to the school at the $1,959 level and above. 

Founders Club members are recognized in the CCES annual report, website, and are invited to special gatherings throughout the year.
