Ways to Give

The Annual Fund

Donations made to the Annual Fund play a vital role in enabling us to provide a comprehensive Durham Nativity School education to all our students. This fund has a direct impact on every facet of our program and mission. A contribution to the Annual Fund without restrictions aids in sustaining our general operating budget, supporting various endeavors such as academic initiatives, classroom projects, equipment, field trips, athletics, and staff salaries. Each contribution to the Annual Fund holds significant value and greatly contributes to our cause.

Through the Annual Fund Sustainers, Durham Nativity School receives consistent and dependable support throughout the year via automatic monthly donations. This method of contribution is not only efficient but also simple, allowing you to make a meaningful difference. You have the option to establish monthly donations from your debit card, credit card, or bank account. You can also inform us at any time if you wish to modify or halt your contributions.

The Future Fund (Our Endowment)

Established in 2014, the Durham Nativity School Future Fund serves as the institution's endowment, providing a perpetual source of financial stability. As the fund continues to grow and generate returns, the interest earned contributes to covering operating expenses and supporting scholarships. In conjunction with the Annual Fund, we strongly encourage contributions to this enduring fund, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the school. To make a contribution to the Durham Nativity School Future Fund, please get in touch with the Development office for further assistance.
