Like most other independent schools, CNS depends on donations to provide a significant share of our operating budget.

In addition to fundraising events such as our Annual Auction and Children's Fair, our Annual Fund plays a critical role in helping CNS raise the income it needs to operate and to continue its leadership in early education.

We're fortunate that an overwhelming majority of CNS families choose to participate in the Annual Fund – more than 80% last year! – but we also depend on donations from others who recognize the value we bring to the community.

You can help CNS raise the bar for education across the city by making a tax-deductible donation. For assistance in planning your gift to CNS – including information on corporate matching and donations of stock – please contact the .
