Support the Annual Fund on Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday at USN directly supports the Annual Fund, which provides 5% of the school’s operating budget. Consider volunteering to text, email, and call USN families to encourage participation or make a gift on Tuesday, December 2.
By Lorie Strong, Director of Annual Giving

As we look ahead to the holiday season, we are excited to share that Giving Tuesday, a global celebration of generosity, falls on Tuesday, December 2 this year. What started as an international movement to spark kindness has become a meaningful day here at USN, reminding us that even small acts of giving can make a big difference for our Tiger community.

Giving Tuesday at USN directly supports the Annual Fund, which provides 5% of the school’s operating budget. Because tuition covers only 80% of the cost of educating each student, gifts to the Annual Fund play an essential role in sustaining the people and programs that make USN exceptional.

Throughout the day, volunteers will help spread the word by texting, emailing, or calling fellow USN families to encourage participation. We invite you to join us! Whether you have ten minutes or an hour, your outreach helps keep our community connected and energized.

This Giving Tuesday, we aim to raise $50,000 in support of USN’s highest priorities. Please consider joining us by making your own gift and signing up to reach out to other families. With your support, the Annual Fund can finish 2025 strong, ensuring every student and teacher has what they need to thrive.

This Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for all the ways you show up for USN.
