Annual Fund

What is the Annual Fund?

The Annual Fund is a yearly fundraising campaign that supports the exceptional education program, its dedicated faculty, students of all backgrounds, and every corner of our campus. Like other independent schools, at King, the cost of educating each student exceeds the cost of tuition. The Annual Fund helps bridge that gap, so every student benefits from your support.

All King community members are asked to participate in this annual fundraising effort.

2024-2025 Annual Fund Goal of $2,100,000.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and will avoid tax on the capital gain.
