STEWARDSHIP OF<br />
OUR MISSION<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong>s oper<strong>at</strong>es a single budget for the<br />
nonprofit corpor<strong>at</strong>ion. With input from local heads of<br />
schools, the president presents a budget incorpor<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
each of the oper<strong>at</strong>ing expenses of the three schools<br />
and the expenses of the central office to the Board of<br />
Trustees for approval.<br />
The work of the central office involves curriculum<br />
development, teacher training, branding and<br />
messaging, and other similar functions th<strong>at</strong> are held<br />
in common by all <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong>s. Moreover, a wide<br />
variety of practical financial m<strong>at</strong>ters such as payroll,<br />
insurance negoti<strong>at</strong>ions, and reimbursements are<br />
handled centrally to support the schools.<br />
In order to support a project or need <strong>at</strong> a local campus,<br />
<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong>s offer a wide range of ways in which<br />
donors and generous benefactors can partner with us -<br />
financially, including restricted don<strong>at</strong>ions. All schol<br />
arship don<strong>at</strong>ions are distributed locally, all capital<br />
campaigns are local, and we have a wide variety of<br />
ongoing initi<strong>at</strong>ives <strong>at</strong> each campus. The Director of<br />
Development <strong>at</strong> each local campus works with our<br />
benefactors to find a method of giving to the school<br />
th<strong>at</strong> honors and maintains the intentions of those<br />
benefactors.<br />
The budget for the central office represents<br />
approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 6% of the overall budget of <strong>Trinity</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>s annually.<br />
