Support

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund provides flexible and immediate funding that allows the school to prioritize programming, services, and facilities that keep Riverdale at the forefront of independent-school education. Among other things, Annual Fund gifts support curriculum development and resources, faculty workshops and education opportunities, and significant financial aid offerings.

R+ Campaign

The R+ Campaign is an historic $100 million fundraising effort that launched publicly in July 2014 and concludes in June 2020. This campaign is comprehensive in that it counts all gifts to the school throughout that period, regardless of designation. Its four key priorities are unrestricted Annual Fund, campus and facilities improvements, programmatic innovation and faculty development, and a more robust endowed financial aid budget.

Volunteer
Opportunities

Volunteering is a meaningful way for our alumni to support today’s students, to remain connected, and to give back to their alma mater. Collectively, our volunteers connect with hundreds of their peers each year, greatly extending Riverdale’s reach. Not only do volunteers help the school in important ways, but volunteering can be an extremely rewarding experience, providing meaningful opportunities for alumni to connect (or reconnect!) with classmates while furthering a common goal of supporting the Riverdale community.
