Fund for Character Education (Annual Fund)
The annual Fund for Character Education helps to sustain The Stony Brook School's Christian foundation as well as its high academic standards.
Set in the context of an intentional Christian community, the gifts received help to fund our operation budget, provide financial aid scholarships to more than 30% of our students, maintain a low student-to-faculty ratio, attract talented and experienced faculty, sustain academic programs and library collections, fund interscholastic athletics and fine arts programs, and support faculty professional growth opportunities.
The Fund for Character Education is the foundation upon which the School builds its programs. It provides a meaningful way for alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the School each year. Thanks to the support of many generous individuals, last year's Fund for Character Education (including the Parent Fund) raised $594,818.
Parent Fund
The Parent Fund is a blended fund of our Annual Fund and capital giving project. All parents of current SBS students are encouraged to participate as they are able--whether through small or large gifts--in order to continue to strengthen The Stony Brook School on behalf of current and future students. Each year, 60% of the Parent Fund is allocated to our Fund for Character Education and 40% is devoted to a special project. Past projects have included new seating and carpeting in Carson Auditorium and renovation of our Memorial Hall Science Labs. The Parent Fund also helped to fund the 2008 renovation of Kinney Field House, a versatile-year-round athletic facility, as well as the 2010 installation of wireless Internet access on campus. Thanks to the generosity of our parents, last year's Parent Fund raised $79,010.
