The Annual Fund is a yearly appeal to friends, families and generous benefactors of Cedarcrest Academy to contribute to the support of the school’s annual operating needs. Unrestricted monetary gifts from the Annual Fund are applied towards the current year’s operating expenses.  Because we are a private, independent school all of our funding comes from tuition and fundraising. Annual Fund gifts make up the difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of educating each student. 

	Three generous donors have pooled their gifts to provide a challenge fund that will match YOUR gift up to $12,000 total for the final month of our fiscal year.   Please go to GiveMN.org to give online.
