Consider RCDS in Year-End Giving
As we near the end of 2023, we wish to express gratitude for the generosity of the Riverfield community. Your support and encouragement are invaluable to our students, faculty, and staff.

If you wish to make an impactful, year-end, tax-deductible donation, consider making it to the Raven Fund, which supports our daily operations. More details about Riverfield and giving can be found on the website. Please contact me at pgrice@riverfield.org if you have any questions about ways to support Riverfield.

For your end-of-year contributions to be included on your 2023 tax statement, please consider the following:

  • Mailed donations should be postmarked by December 31st.
  • You can give online anytime.
  • Riverfield will be closed until January 4th, so we will not be able to accept drop-off donations during Winter Break.
Message from RFA President
Happy Holidays! We had a great turnout at our December meeting with more than 15 in attendance. The Sapphire Celebration will be here before you know it! Sponsorship and underwriting opportunities are still available and individual tickets will go on sale in January. As an additional incentive, 10 percent of every sponsorship received by December 31, 2023, will go toward financial aid. We are also looking for unique experiences for auction items. If you have a vacation home, airline or hotel points, or any other items you would like to contribute to the auction, please let Bonita James know by emailing bjames@riverfield.org. Your support is appreciated!
Heather Ward,
RFA President
