BECOME PART OF THE MOSAIC

University School of Nashville is more than a historic building.  It's a MOSAIC of students, teachers, alumni, and families.

From the days of PDS to today's kindergarten class at USN, the experience of each individual in the building on Edgehill Avenue grows richer through its connection to all the others who came before.

Your support ensures that USN will continue to provide unequaled opportunities for its students, sending them into the wider world prepared to meet its challenges.

The Annual Fund helps the school fulfill its mission, and your gift, no matter what size, benefits every USN student and teacher.

Why does USN ask for Annual Fund gifts?

As at many independent schools, tuition covers roughly 85% of operating expenses.  We depend on the Annual Fund to help make up a portion of the remaining 15%.  Annual Fund dollars help University School attract and retain excellent teachers, make a USN education available to more deserving students, enhance programs and technology, and improve facilities.  The dollars raised for this annual campaign are vital to the day-to-day operations of the school, benefiting all of USN’s students and our dedicated faculty.

Why is participation so important to the Annual Fund?

A high percentage of giving by all our constituents assures a solid future for USN and shows the wider community that we all believe in and support the mission of this school.  Strong participation in the Annual Fund often positively influences contributions from foundations and corporations.

How much should I give?

We hope that you will support the USN Annual Fund to the extent that you are financially capable.  Gifts range in size from $25 to $25,000, and each gift is valued as a vote of confidence in University School.

How can I make a gift today?
