We Can Make a Difference Together!

Written By Ryan Wasserman

Dear Soundview Families

The Annual Campaign begins today! We must fund 15% of this year’s budget with Annual Campaign gifts to keep Soundview’s education ethical, rigorous, and compassionate. 

Make your gift HERE. 

Make a pledge HERE. 

Read the full Annual Campaign letter and financial data sheet HERE. 

Last year, our board matched early Annual Campaign gifts of $1000 or more. We raised and our board matched over $37,000 before the campaign officially began. 

This year, we have a very special opportunity. Trustee and alumni (River ‘21, Hazel ‘24) parent Doug and his wife and former trustee Alison Suttles will match all gifts/pledges made during the first week of the campaign, from today until Tuesday, October 8th. All they ask is that you consider what Soundview means to you and make a personally meaningful gift. Typical Annual Campaign gifts range from $100 to more than $10,000. Every gift matters! 

Here’s what to expect during the Annual Campaign and throughout October:

  • This week, you will receive a hard copy mailing of this year’s Annual Campaign letter and data sheet. 

  • You’ll see inspirational messages and videos on Soundview’s social media and regular communications throughout October. 

  • Soundview Parent and Guardian Association will host BOOLING! on October 26th to celebrate a successful Annual Campaign. 

Here’s how you can maximize your gift:

  • Make your personally meaningful gift during the first week of the campaign and Doug and Alison Suttles will match it! 

  • Many employers match charitable donations. Check with your employer and submit for a matching gift from them.  

  • Instead of making a gift, make a pledge, which means you can choose when to make the full payment. 

  • Make a pledge for a monthly payment plan, which is helpful to Soundview and could allow you to plan for a larger annual gift. You can make your pledge for support HERE.

  • Learn more about how your gift to the Annual Campaign makes a real difference for students by scheduling time to meet with Ryan HERE. 

With gratitude,
Chris
