Funding

Educating students who have dyslexia is a rewarding process, with successful results often visible immediately. Success is seen in students' grades, their achievements, and their smiles. Yet it requires a hands-on, labor-intensive process which is expensive. Tuition covers only 75 percent of the total cost. The rest of the funds needed to educate our students must come from other sources.

The New Community School receives enthusiastic and generous support from current families, Alumni and alumni families, faculty and staff, friends, corporations and foundations. These gifts make it possible for TNCS to produce more and more success stories.

There are many ways in which supporters like you can make a difference. These opportunities may take the form of:

  • Volunteer Support
  • Gifts of Stock or Securities
  • Memorials & Endowment Gifts
  • Underwriting Tuition Costs
  • Cash Gifts
  • Pledges
  • Bequests
  • Insurance Gifts

Whatever the form of support, each gift represents a vital opportunity of promise for the future. For further information please contact the school Development Office at 804.264.3276, or e-mail us your request. We also encourage you to read more about our Annual Fund, or click here to download our form for donation to TNCS.
