The RPDS Fund
The bold vision and exciting progress of Riverside Presbyterian Day School are possible because of the support of a community with strong philanthropic roots dating back 76 years. Our strength has always relied on our tradition of collaboration and generosity, and we hope to continue that tradition with this year’s RPDS Fund.
The RPDS plays a crucial role in ensuring that RPDS remains the top choice for elementary education in Northeast Florida. While tuition is essential for covering the daily operational costs of the School and meeting the fundamental educational requirements of our students, gifts to the RPDS Fund allow us to further invest in enhancing our programs, offer enriching professional development opportunities for faculty and staff, expand our financial aid capabilities, and support necessary facilities maintenance and upgrades. As you can see, gifts to The RPDS Fund are vital in supporting the RPDS legacy that is now 76 years strong.
Donations to this fund are unrestricted, allowing the school to allocate resources where they are most needed, including academic programs, technology, athletics, fine arts, community service, chapel, facilities maintenance and improvements.
We invite you to join us in supporting this important annual giving campaign. Your generosity keeps us moving forward in fulfilling our mission.
