Giving at a Glance

Welcome to the Office of Institutional Advancement. Our goal is to strengthen and advance the mission of Professional Children’s School, primarily through raising philanthropic support for the school.

As a private, not-for-profit school, tuition pays the majority of the cost of a PCS education, but it doesn’t pay the full cost. The need for financial aid continues to increase. In the 2021-2022 academic year, 46% of PCS students received need-based financial aid, enabling them to attend PCS.

We work with parents, grandparents, trustees, alumni and alumni parents and grandparents, and others in the PCS community to raise the remaining costs to make a PCS education possible for more students. Thank you for your generous support of PCS.

THE FUND FOR PROFESSIONAL CHILDREN’S SCHOOL

Our fundraising takes place under the umbrella of The Fund for Professional Children’s School, which encompasses all philanthropic contributions to the school, including unrestricted gifts, gifts to our Financial Aid Fund and other special funds for financial aid, contributions toward other special initiatives, and underwriting for and attendance at our Spring Gala. Unrestricted gifts go toward meeting PCS’s most pressing immediate needs.
