The Ramona Fund

The Ramona Fund provides critical operating support for Ramona. Like most private schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Ramona education. Gifts to the Ramona Fund help Ramona make up the difference between the total cost of running the school and tuition revenue, thereby having an immediate effect on the lives of every Ramona student.

By donating to the Ramona Fund, you provide Ramona with the essential, unrestricted dollars needed for:

• Technology upgrades to further augment our curriculum
• Enhancing and expanding our student life and co-curricular programming
• Professional development and recognition for our faculty and staff
• Maintaining and upgrading our beautiful and historic 19-acre campus
• Providing for unique academic, co-curricular and/or spiritual enrichment opportunities
• Scholarships and tuition assistance

Whether it’s providing money for program enhancements, faculty development, or improving the countless other pieces of the Ramona experience, the impact of a gift to the Ramona Fund is far-reaching. Every gift - regardless of size - makes a difference.
