ONE ANNUAL FUND
Two Ways to Help Wonder Grow
$175,000
This unrestricted fund gives our Head of School the flexibility to respond to emerging needs and bring our strategic priorities to life. Gifts can support essential classroom resources, refreshed learning spaces and enhanced learning opportunities such as visiting artists, guest speakers and memorable field trips.
$175,000
Last year, your generosity helped launch our STEAM Studio and fund our STEAM Facilitator. This year, the STEAM Innovation Fund will build on that foundation, supporting new tools, replenishing hands-on project materials and expanding opportunities for students to design, build, experiment and solve problems.

Legacy Giving
The Legacy giving program allows members of our community (alumni, parents, alumni parents, and employees) to support the school by leaving a bequest as part of their estate planning.
Matching Gifts
Many companies offer to match tax-deductible donations made by their employees. Check your company’s website or speak with your Human Resources representative to see if your donation to River Valley School can be matched.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
Give with flexibility and purpose.
Recommend a grant to River Valley School through your donor-advised fund and direct your charitable giving toward the area of RVS that matters most to you.
Flow-Through Shares
Turn an investment into meaningful impact.
Flow-through share donations can offer Canadian donors a tax-efficient way to make a significant charitable gift. Gifts are facilitated through a specialized provider to support a simple and secure giving process.
Gifts of Securities
Give more by giving differently.
Donating publicly traded securities directly to River Valley School can be a tax-efficient way to support our students while potentially reducing the tax associated with capital gains.
