Please join us for the Third Annual Trinity Giving Tuesday!

This year, Trinity Episcopal School will once again participate in Giving Tuesday on December 2, a global day of generosity. We invite everyone in the Trinity community to come together and support our school on this special day. One hundred percent of all Trinity Giving Tuesday donations go directly to the Titan Fund and to supporting our school, strengthening every aspect of a Trinity education and fueling our mission to build confident, resilient upstanders. Every gift, no matter the amount, plays a vital role in sustaining excellence at Trinity for future generations.

Donate by clicking the blue "Donate" button in the top right of the screen.

Our Giving Tuesday goal this year is to raise $100,000 from the Trinity community. Every gift from current parents on Giving Tuesday will be matched by our generous Giving Tuesday Match Donors, unlocking up to $65,000 in additional funds for the Trinity Titan Fund!

Meet our generous match donors for each grade!

If we reach our $100,000 school goal, all students will receive a special prize!
The first grade to reach 100% Titan Fund participation will receive a prize!
The grade that donates the most will also win a prize!

The Trinity Titan Fund is our Annual Giving Campaign and the heart of how we live out Trinity's mission. It relies on the collective generosity of our entire community—teachers, staff, parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, and supporters from Trinity Episcopal Church. Every gift directly supports the development of confident, resilient upstanders who learn with curiosity, lead with courage, and care for others.

Because of the incredible generosity of Titan Fund donors last year, Trinity was able to provide opportunities that extend far beyond what tuition and our operating budget alone can support. Your gifts made it possible to:

Bring a brand-new First Grade classroom to life, fully outfitted with the tools and materials young learners need to thrive.
Invest in our exceptional faculty, sending teachers to high-impact professional development locally and across the country.
Enhance Athletics program with new physical education equipment and a gym divider curtain that improves practice and play.
Launch Trinity’s first-ever Multicultural Fair and enhance student showcases like the Fine Arts Fest—celebrating the talents, identities, and creativity of our students.
Reimagine outdoor play spaces with new equipment, including a mud pie kitchen, turf, and new fencing for Les Enfants creating joyful, safe, and engaging environments for our youngest Titans.

When you give today, you directly shape what is possible for every Trinity student. This Giving Tuesday, help us continue shaping confident, resilient upstanders who make a difference in their world.

FAQs

Why should I participate?
Gifts to the Titan Fund help with the total cost of a Trinity education, which is not completely covered by tuition. Every donation directly supports Trinity faculty, staff, and students.

If I have children in multiple grades, how will my donation count toward each grade's match challenge?
If you have children in multiple grades, your donation will be evenly split across each grade’s match challenge. For example, a $1,000 donation with children in First and Fourth Grades would allocate $500 to each grade's match.

Will my gift made before Giving Tuesday count toward 100% participation for the grade?
Donations from current Trinity parents made anytime this school year will count toward giving participation for all of your children’s grades.

How much should I give?
We invite you to give at any level meaningful to your family. Every gift at any of our Titan Fund Giving Levels is appreciated and makes a difference!

Families who give $2,500 or more are recognized as Major Donors for their extraordinary leadership and generosity and are invited to the Titan Fund Major Donor Party this spring, hosted by our Titan Fund Chairs, Kathlyn and Beau Bethune.

Should I cover the processing fees?
No. Covering processing fees is completely optional. Givebutter shows the option at checkout, but if you choose not to cover the fees, Givebutter absorbs them so Trinity still receives 100% of your gift.

Do I have to include a tip for GiveButter?
No, tips to GiveButter are completely optional! Enabling the optional GiveButter tip feature on the donation form allows Trinity to keep fundraising through GiveButter completely free. You may select $0 for the GiveButter tip when making your donation. Trinity is still able to use Givebutter at no cost, regardless of whether donors leave a tip.

If I made a pledge and provided my card information to be charged on Giving Tuesday, will my gift be included here?
Yes! After your credit card is charged on Giving Tuesday, your donation will be shown here as part of the Giving Tuesday fundraising totals.

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes! Once you make your gift, you will receive an email confirmation that your gift has been received. This email may also serve as your receipt for tax purposes.
