Giving to Spruce

Give to Spruce

Why do we fundraise at Spruce Street Nursery School?

Spruce, like most independent schools, operates as a non-profit organization and covers its costs through a mix of tuition and fundraising. We rely on two major fundraising initiatives:

The Annual Fund 

Every gift – no matter the size – is incredibly appreciated and will be used directly to benefit our children’s experience at Spruce. We make our annual appeal in the fall to both current and alumni families. The goal of the Annual Fund is to raise important funds for Spruce through the involvement of the entire community. We strive for 100% participation and are very proud to say that we reach this participation goal almost every year. With your help, we know we can do it again this year! All contributions to the Annual Fund are fully tax deductible.

The Annual Auction

The Auction is not only a major source of funds for Spruce, but also our most significant parent social event. Proceeds from the auction directly benefit the teachers and programs at Spruce! Each spring, funds are raised through live auction items, silent bidding and sponsorship.

With Gratitude

Every gift to Spruce is impactful. Participation in the Annual Fund helps to close the gap between tuition and the cost of operations, and ensures that the programs and traditions of Spruce continue.
