The Waterford Fund is an ongoing, annual fundraising activity, critical to Waterford’s operating income. Waterford, like most independent schools, relies on annual, tax-deductible gifts – in addition to tuition – to balance the budget each year. These meaningful gifts provide revenue that supports core activities, program enrichment, and innovative development. WFC Reps assist Waterford’s Development Office with outreach, awareness, and support of giving.

Let’s make it a great party together! Gala is our largest fundraising event, and the goal is focused on raising money for the people and programs that make our school so special. The work that we do surrounding Gala is vital to many members of our community. Thank you for helping make this year’s event fabulous! We welcome any level of assistance you are able to give – there is something for everyone!
