Annual Giving: The Heart of Our Community Support
Annual Giving is an important part of the philanthropic support that helps The Acorn continue providing a distinctive education for young children.
Each year, gifts from current families, alumni, grandparents, teachers, and friends of The Acorn help provide opportunities and resources that extend beyond what tuition alone can provide.
Annual gifts help support the experiences that make The Acorn special, including hands-on classroom learning, art and music, Spanish, nature-based experiences, teacher resources, special projects, and opportunities for children to explore and discover.
Strong Roots. Growing Minds.
Your gift, regardless of size, strengthens our community and helps ensure that future generations of children can experience the same sense of wonder, belonging, and joy that has made The Acorn special for decades. Your annual gift helps us protect the Acorn experience today while helping it grow for years to come.
