Annual Fund
Your Annual Fund gift supports everyday excellence for our students.
The Annual Fund is a critical part of DV's annual operating budget, and is used for everyday or emerging needs. Here are just a few examples:
- It funds our no-cut athletics teams, in which everyone can participate, regardless of whether they've ever played a sport before
- It funds our ABLE program, which uses adventure and challenge to develop wellsprings of confidence that students can draw on throughout life
- It funds professional development for our teachers, enabling them to meet every student where they are with the right supports
These and many other initiatives create a strong support network for our students. The Annual Fund is mission-critical fundraising that supports all aspects of the DV experience, and has a direct and immediate impact on our students, faculty, and programs.
We hope you'll give as generously as you can, knowing that gifts of any amount are valued and appreciated.
