Trinity School

A Place where Children Learn to Love Learning

PK3 - Grade 8 Ellicott City, Maryland

Annual Giving 2024-2025

Help Us Reach our $110,000 Goal!

Trinity’s greatest blessings are our children. We understand how important and necessary it is that we provide a strong academic foundation within a Christian environment that nurtures Gospel values. And we see the fruits of this commitment in our students—confident, courteous, and well-prepared for the next steps in their academic journeys. They leave our school not only equipped with exceptional academic skills but also with the moral compass to live a Christian life.

How does your Annual Giving gift support Trinity?
Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Trinity education. Funds raised through Annual Giving ensure that we can maintain the financial health of the school, provide tuition assistance, preserve our beautiful campus, and attract and retain a dedicated, talented faculty and staff. Your contributions directly enhance the educational and co-curricular opportunities we offer, and our students deserve.

How will your Annual Giving gift make a difference this year?
We have set an ambitious goal of $110,000 this giving year. We have earmarked $50,000 to support our performing arts opportunities with new stage curtains in the Gym. Our HSA has joined us in this initiative by setting their goal of $15,000 for an enhanced sound system in the Gym.

The remaining $60,000 is dedicated to increasing our tuition assistance fund so that families choosing an independent Catholic education can afford to remain at or attend Trinity.

With your support and God’s grace, we can continue Trinity’s 83-year legacy of making God’s goodness known by cultivating students’ God-given talents through academic excellence, leadership, and service opportunities.

What is Annual Giving?

Annual Giving is the most important source of income for Trinity other than tuition. It is an opportunity for all members of the Trinity Family (parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends of Trinity) to invest in Trinity's strong faith based educational program.

Every family benefits from the Annual Giving Fund.  It allows us to continue to keep our tuition increases to a minimum, making a Trinity education accessible to more families. 

Why does Trinity need Annual Giving?

Annual Giving allows us to have an educational program that is accessible, viable, and sustainable.

How does my gift make a difference?

High percentages of participation by trustees, parents, guardians, faculty, staff, alumni, parents of alumni, and friends of Trinity are key metrics that foundations and corporations use to measure a school’s level of community support and future sustainability.  

In 2022, Trinity was awarded $70,000 from the Marion I and Henry J. Knott Foundation for Technology upgrades.  2017, Trinity was awarded $82,500 from the Marion I and Henry J. Knott Foundation.  Parent participation was a vital part of Knott Foundation's eager support of Trinity.

We are grateful and thankful for you generously sharing your blessings with Trinity. Your gift or pledge in any amount is important, thank you for your generosity!
